I have been stealthily watching Fig Tree Court.

I _think_ I can get chambers there--a man is turning out next month--got a Colonial appointment--I've put my new name down at the lodge and I shall have to rack my brains for references--you will do for one--or perhaps not--however that I can work out later.

Of course I won't take the final plunge till I have secured the rooms.

Meantime I will use my bedroom here but promise you I will be awfully prudent..." _Norie_: "I couldn't possibly have Beryl 'living in,' with a child hanging about the place; so I think if you _do_ go I shall turn your bedroom into an apartment which Beryl and I can use for toilet purposes but where we can range out on book-shelves a whole lot of our books.

Just now they are most inconveniently stored away in boxes.
