One evening, when the trees were soughing in the wind and the sun had sunk to rest, Sophie went out with her basket.
After lunch she wished me to see a little of the country round Esher and ordered her ponies and small carriage for herself and me, while Mr. Bancroft and Miss Murray walked. We went first to the royal seat, Claremont, where the Princess Charlotte lived so happily with Leopold, and where she died.
