Haunts of ancient peace . te a book, we might perhapshave chosen an itinerary different from the onearranged for us by Veronica. But neither she, nor any of us, had such an end in view. Wesaw a score of places and a hundred things Ihave not even mentioned, and we had manytalks I have not set down. Where we wentseemed, to all but Veronicas directing mind, sheer haphazard; and I am aware that thisrecord of our Autumn rambling is of the samefortuitous character. The persons who spareyou nothing, in telling you what they have beendoing, and what has happened to them, are gen-erally rather tiresome. It would take far morethan a few weeks to see all the Haunts of An-cient Peace in our Island, and many a volumeto describe them.
