must be great fun to see them."

"Happy people!" said Mrs. Langford.

"Henrietta says," proceeded Fred, "that there is a house to be let at
Knight Sutton."

"The Pleasance; yes, I know it well," said his mother: "it is not
actually in the parish, but close to the borders, and a very pretty
place."

"With a pretty little stream in the garden, Fred, "said Henrietta, "and
looking into that beautiful Sussex coom, that there is a drawing of in
mamma's room."

"What size is it?" added Fred.

"The comparative degree," said Mrs. Langford, "but my acquaintance with
it does not extend beyond the recollection of a pretty-looking drawing-
room with French windows, and a lawn where I used to be allowed to run
about when I went with Grandmamma Langford to call on the old Miss
Drakes. I wonder your Uncle Roger does not take it, for those boys can
scarcely, I should think, be wedged into Sutton Leigh when they are all
at home."

"I wish some one else would take it," said Fred.

"Some one," added Henrietta, "who would like it of all things, and be
quite at home there."
