Dear Otterbourne Readers,

All I can give you this time to read is a little account of some of my doings while I have been away from home.

One of the ... continue reading

MADAM. -‘A Berkshire Associate’ writes, that a girl was censured at the Winchester Conference for giving her premium to her mother, and that no one defended her. Let me state that mention of the fact was not heard at the table where the members of Council sat, and it is not mentioned in the notes of the report.

My dear Miss Keary

I am afraid Lady Jane Grey will not do for me, as I have had her before in the Cameos.

Please thank the writer for me. Are you living at Kensington still, or is your present address only a temporary one. Not that I ought to give you the trouble of answering me. I hope no girls you were interested in were in that terrible catastrophe.

Please thank the writer for me. Are you living at Kensington still, or is your present address only a temporary one. Not that I ought to give you the trouble of answering me. I hope no girls you were interested in were in that terrible catastrophe.

I want to tell the SSW of a lovely book that has been sent to Gertrude by another invalid. It is called 'the Sermon in the Hospital', and can be had from Kegan Paul for 3d or 20s for 25 copies.

Dear Otterbourne Readers,

All I can give you this time to read is a little account of some of my doings while I have been away from home.

I have been reading an article in the National Review, showing how utterly Carlyle misquoted Cromwell’s speeches, and absolutely neglected shoals of contemporary papers which would have spoilt his conceptions of his idol.

I am afraid Lady Jane Grey will not do for me, as I have had her before in the Cameos.

Please thank the writer for me. Are you living at Kensington still, or is your present address only a temporary one. Not that I ought to give you the trouble of answering me. I hope no girls you were interested in were in that terrible catastrophe.

I want to tell the SSW of a lovely book that has been sent to Gertrude by another invalid. It is called 'the Sermon in the Hospital', and can be had from Kegan Paul for 3d or 20s for 25 copies.

Dear Otterbourne Readers,

All I can give you this time to read is a little account of some of my doings while I have been away from home.

One of the ... continue reading

I have been reading an article in the National Review, showing how utterly Carlyle misquoted Cromwell’s speeches, and absolutely neglected shoals of contemporary papers which would have spoilt his conceptions of his idol.

I am afraid Lady Jane Grey will not do for me, as I have had her before in the Cameos.

Please thank the writer for me. Are you living at Kensington still, or is your present address only a temporary one. Not that I ought to give you the trouble of answering me. I hope no girls you were interested in were in that terrible catastrophe.

I want to tell the SSW of a lovely book that has been sent to Gertrude by another invalid. It is called 'the Sermon in the Hospital', and can be had from Kegan Paul for 3d or 20s for 25 copies.

I will try to bring the paper in when I can upon the Mission Parcel society, which no doubt is very useful.

Dear Otterbourne Readers,

All I can give you this time to read is a little account of some of my doings while I have been away from home. I began with a visit of two days to the good Bishop of Bedford, who though bearing that title has really been an assistant to the Bishop of London, till now, when he is gone to the new see of Wakefield, in Yorkshire. One of the ... continue reading

I have been reading an article in the National Review, showing how utterly Carlyle misquoted Cromwell’s speeches, and absolutely neglected shoals of contemporary papers which would have spoilt his conceptions of his idol. It is curious, but really, poor old Carlyle must have been a good deal of a humbug for all his bluster.

My dear Miss Keary

I am afraid Lady Jane Grey will not do for me, as I have had her before in the Cameos.

Please thank the writer for me. Are you living at Kensington still, or is your present address only a temporary one. Not that I ought to give you the trouble of answering me. I hope no girls you were interested in were in that terrible catastrophe.

I want to tell the SSW of a lovely book that has been sent to Gertrude by another invalid. It is called 'the Sermon in the Hospital', and can be had from Kegan Paul for 3d or 20s for 25 copies.

Dear Otterbourne Readers,

All I can give you this time to read is a little account of some of my doings while I have been away from home. I began with a visit of two days to the good Bishop of Bedford, who though bearing that title has really been an assistant to the Bishop of London, till now, when he is gone to the new see of Wakefield, in Yorkshire. One of the ... continue reading

I have been reading an article in the National Review, showing how utterly Carlyle misquoted Cromwell’s speeches, and absolutely neglected shoals of contemporary papers which would have spoilt his conceptions of his idol.

I want to tell the SSW of a lovely book that has been sent to Gertrude by another invalid. It is called 'the Sermon in the Hospital', and can be had from Kegan Paul for 3d or 20s for 25 copies.

One of the ... continue reading

I have been reading an article in the National Review, showing how utterly Carlyle misquoted Cromwell’s speeches, and absolutely neglected shoals of contemporary papers which would have spoilt his conceptions of his idol. It is curious, but really, poor old Carlyle must have been a good deal of a humbug for all his bluster.

I have been reading an article in the National Review, showing how utterly Carlyle misquoted Cromwell’s speeches, and absolutely neglected shoals of contemporary papers which would have spoilt his conceptions of his idol.
