Lady Pleasance said : “Certainly my little home was once a stable. It may be a stable again; but at present it is my home.” 1 The paper states that the stable is really the coachhouse of a large establishment. which stands in its own grounds near London. • It is stastefully £uknished\ 'and Suggests simplicity, but not poverty. “It is true,” said Lady Pleasance, “that 'I am entirely cut off from my family, but it is untrue to say that ■this is because I became a Roman Catholic, like Jmy husband. .1 was once sent to a convent by my mother. My isolation from my own people has followed my marriage. That is all 1 care to say. I am absolutely happy. Money and rank are nice, but they are not everything.” Lady Pleasance’s husband now has employment on shore. They have a little son aged five months.
