  • Miss Meredith

    It was about a week after Christmas, and we—my mother, my two sisters, and myself—were sitting, as usual, in the parlour of the little house at Islington. Tea was over, and Jenny had possession of the table, where she was engaged in making a watercolour sketch of still life by the light of the lamp, whose rays fell effectively on her bent head with its aureole of Titian-coloured hair—the delight ...

  • Xantippe, A Minor Poet and Other Verses

    I KNEW not if to laugh or weep; They sat and talked of you—“’Twas here he sat; ’twas this he said! ’Twas that he used to do. “Here is the book wherein he read, The room, wherein he dwelt; And he” (they said) “was such a man, Such things he thought and felt.” I sat and sat, I did not stir; They talked and talked away. I was as mute as any stone, I had no word to say. They talked and talked; like to ... Read more

  • A London Plane-Tree, and Other Verse

    GREEN is the plane-tree in the square, The other trees are brown; They droop and pine for country air; The plane-tree loves the town. Here from my garret-pane, I mark The plane-tree bud and blow, Shed her recuperative bark, And spread her shade below. Among her branches, in and out, The city breezes play; The dun fog wraps her round about; Above, the smoke curls grey. Others the country take for ... Read more

  • The Romance of a Shop

    There stood on Campden Hill a large, dun-coloured house, enclosed by a walled-in garden of several acres in extent. It belonged to no particular order of architecture, and was more suggestive of comfort than of splendour, with its great windows, and rambling, nondescript proportions. On one side, built out from the house itself, was a big glass structure, originally designed for a conservatory. On ... Read more

  • Fifty Shades of London

    This vast and teeming metropolis that many of us call home sits astride a small river on a small island anchored off the north-west shores of Europe.

    Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many.In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on ... Read more
