Harrow is by nature admirably suited for either recreation or study. The school buildings are located on the brow and slope of a high hill, commanding an extensive prospect on all sides. From the summit, part of six counties are visible, and the Surrey Hills, the Thames, Windsor Castle, and part of London meet the spectator's eye.

...Lasellia Club. The former is very, very secret. The gallant visitor, if his hostess chance to belong to the S. D., of course interprets the letters as the initials for "Seraphic Daisies," but if the hostess be one of the Lasellia Club, he then wrinkles his brow and suggests, "Slighted Damsels...
