I thought of that line of Mrs.Hemans: "Bathed in light like floating gold." They showed so clearly the dainty, delicate tracing, the large, arched windows.

The house itself was built in the old Elizabethan style.

I found afterward that it was called Crown Anstey because it had belonged in former years to one of the queens of England.

The Queen's Chamber was the largest and best room in it.

Report said that a royal head had often lain there; that the queen to whom the house had belonged had spent many of her sorrowful and happy hours there.
