... By JOYCE DENNYS. MY DEAR ROBERT-- Faith and the Conductor really are engaged now and he has bought her a ring.

Of course, the Conductor no longer does housework for me, but I can't say I mind much. It was very exhausting having to ...

MOTLEY NOTES: Once Upon a Time

... MOTLEY NOTES. By ALAN KEMP. Once Upon a Time. A vivid recollection of a flower-like childhood is the first time I ever listened to a telephone. I must have been about seven or eight, I suppose, and I had often yearned for this thrill, but our household did not boast such a marvel, and it was in the house of a princely neighbour that I was given the treat-- as a reward, I should like to think, ...
