From the
Mrs. Hawke, on coming back to England after some years spent in continental wanderings, had taken the lease of a mansion in Cuban Terrace, Knightsbridge, although, as her children well knew, it was most unlikely that she would be content to make use of it for more than six months. It was true that she was a very rich woman. The house was vastly too large for her household as it was just then, reduced to her own family after one of those purgings to which she treated her following from time to time, and to balance the expense and compromise with her natural parsimony, she had had it furnished with second-hand stuff such as must have been buried for hopeless decades in the depths of vaults, with indestructible Victorian pieces which pleased her by their size and their demented elaboration.
