Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Olive, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel
IN one of the western environs of London is a region which, lying between two great omnibus outlets, is yet as retired and old fashioned as though it had been miles and miles distant from the metropolis. Fields there are few or none, certainly; but there are quiet, green lanes (where in spring-time you may pluck many a fragrant hawthorn branch), and market-gardens, and grand old trees; while on summer mornings you may continually hear a loud chorus of birds.
