Excerpt from Our House and the People in It

Our finding Our House was the merest chance. J. and I had been hunting for it during weeks and months, from Chelsea to Blackfriars, when one day on the way to take a train on the Underground we saw the notice "To Let" in windows just where they ought to have been, - high above the Embankment and the River, - and we knew at a glance that we should be glad to spend the rest of our lives looking out of them. But something depended on the house we looked out from, and, while our train went without us, we hurried to discover it. We were in luck. It was all that we could have asked: as simple in architecture, its bricks as time-stained, as the courts of the Temple or Gray"s Inn.
