Gardens of celebrities and celebrated gardens in and around London . ng now : Weare called Cheyne Row (pronounced Chaine Row) and are a genteelneighbourhood ; two old ladies on one side, unknown characteron the other, but with pianos. The street is flag-pathed, sunk-storied, iron-railed, all old-fashioned and tightly done up ; looksout on a rank of sturdy old pollarded (that is beheaded) lime trees, standing there like giants. . Beyond this a high brick wall ;backwards a garden, the size of our back one at Comely Bank, with trees, etc., in bad culture ; beyond this green hay-fields andtree avenues, once a bishops pleasure grounds; an unpicturesqueyet rather cheerful outlook. He describes the house in detail, ending up with : On the whole a most massive, roomy, sufficientold house, with places, for example, to hang, say, three dozenhats and cloaks on, and as many crevices and queer old pressesand shelved closets (all tight, new painted in their way) as wouldgratify the most covetous Goody—rent, thirty-five pounds—Iconfess I am strongly tempted. 260. o t^ O CARLYLE HOUSE, CHELSEA Chelsea, that he calls a singular, heterogeneous kind of spot, very dirty and confused in some places, quite beautiful in others, with its memories of Sir Thomas More, Steele, and Smollett, waseven more fascinating in pre-embankment days than it is now.Cheyne Walk was at that time a wide highway, with boats lyingmoored, and a smell of shipping and tar. Up and down the broadriver darted myriads of canoes manned by white-trousered, white-shirted Cockneys, and beyond lay the peaceful villages, andbeautiful green undulations of Surrey, a most artificial, green-painted, and yet lively, fresh, almost opera-looking business, wrote Carlyle ; for though he professed dislike of the avowedlypicturesque, he was not insensitive to it, and, fresh from the silenceand solitudes of Craigenputtoch, he was clearly attracted ; buthe left the decision to his practical wife.
