Anna Kingsford’s Last Home
A Quotation on
Anna Kingsford's Last Home:
“Travelling by short stages, we reached
London without mishap, saving only a detention for four days
at Boulogne, through stress of weather, on July 13, and
at once took up our abode at 15 Wynnstay Gardens, of
which she had taken over the furniture with the lease, so
that we were able at once to take possession. Her own maid
was already there, and we were speedily joined by A.
(Algernon), who from that time forth passed with her as much
of his time as could be spared from his clerical duties”
(p. 322).
