Excerpt from The Puppet Show of Memory

We used to go in the summer to Coombe Cottage, near Malden, an ivy-covered, red-brick house, with a tower at one end, a cool oak hall and staircase, a drawing-room full Of water colours, a room next to it full of books, with a drawing-table and painting materials ready, and a long dining-room, of which the narrow end was a Sitting-room, and had a verandah looking out on to the garden. There was also a kitchen garden, lawns, a dairy, a gardener, Mr. Baker, who made nosegays, a deaf-and dumb under-gardener who spoke on his fingers, a farmyard, and a duck-pond into which I remember falling.
