The lire spread rapidly, and it seemed as though the whole houso was in imminent danger. '
The Duke and Duchess, who with the household wore aroused, displayed great coolness.
After considerable difficulty the flames were subdued, just as the Fiwj Brigade was about to be summoned* - The room where the fire originated was very much damaged.
