Excerpt from A Castle to Let South kensington may perhaps be described as pre eminently the home of the British domesticities. All that most indicates the rectitude, the stability, the refinement of English family life at its best flourishes here, where we have neither the oppressive wealth of Belgravia nor the mediocrity of the suburbs. Had you opened the street door of Number 3 Truro Gardens, one evening in the late June of the year before the war, you would have been greeted by that mingled Odour of clear soup, green peas, hot fruit, and stuffing, which indicates that a dinner-party is in progress.
