"And as to where you are to set up your tent," he said, "Clara and I have seen a cottage on Brook Green that we think would suit you admirably."
"Where is Brook Green?" asked Lettice, who was almost ignorant of any save the main thoroughfares of London.
"In the wilds of Hammersmith——"
"West Kensington," put in Clara, rather indignantly.
"Well, West Kensington is only Hammersmith writ fine. It is about ten minutes' walk from us——"
"Oh, I am glad of that," said Lettice.
"—And it is not, I think, too large or too dear. You must go and look at it to-morrow, if you can."
"Is there any garden?"
"There is a garden, with trees under which your mother can sit when it is warm. Clara told me you would like that; and there is a grass-plot—I won't call it a lawn—where you can let your dog and cat disport themselves in safety. I am sure you must have brought a dog or a cat with you, Miss Campion. I never yet knew a young woman from the country who did not bring a pet animal to town with her."
"Jim, you are very rude," said his wife.
