Excerpt from The Burnt Million, Vol. 1 of 3
In the old Court suburb, Kensington, there are still a few fine old houses standing back from the road, with gardens attached to them of considerable size, and adorned with noble trees, especially the cedar. Its 'layers of shade,' though deadly to the turf beneath them, are welcome indeed to the Londoner during the summer heats.
