I observe that this is only a commencement. That my object is to remember everything gradually, and so omit nothing.

    Happy Thought.

   —Only one floor and one flight of stairs.

   Here I find the library has been forgotten.

   Add on the library in dots; like a railway map.

   “How do you get there from the study?” asks Milburd.

   “Why, by doors, through the dining-room.”

   “Awkward,” suggests Boodels.

   “No; I don't think so.”

   “How do you light your study?” asks Cazell.

   “Eh? . . . . . Ah! . . .”

    Happy Thought.

   —From above.

   “Then,” says Milburd, as if there was an end of the whole thing, “you lose a bed-room by that, and another over the billiard-room.”

   True.

    Happy Thought.

   —Bring study more forward and light it by big window in front. (I do so in dots.)

   Milburd says: “Throw out a bay.”

   This is his invariable resource.

   I throw out a bay-window (also in dots) and then we survey it carefully.
