Lymington. By train to Brocken- hurst and walk to Queen's Bower. The brook be- starred with white flowers (water crowfoot), little fishes gliding. Sit under the Big Oak reading As Tou Like It, — and this might be Jacques's very brook in Arden. Then through forest glades appears a carriage with Aide, George du Maurier and his wife, and Miss Middlecoat.
