'The crypt?' said Miss Frere, doubting somewhat of this invitation.
'Yes, the old monuments are in the crypt.'
'My dear,' said Mrs. Dallas, 'I do not understand how all these things you have been talking about should have so much charm for you. I should think the newer and handsomer parts of the city, the parks and the gardens, and the fine squares, would be a great deal more agreeable.'
'To live in, mother.'
'And don't you go to the British Museum, and to the Tower, and to Hyde
Park?'
'I have been there hundreds of times.'
'And like these old corners still?'
'I am very fond of the Museum.'
'There is nothing like that is this country,' said Mrs. Dallas, with an accent of satisfaction.
