Berkeley Square, London Mentioned: A house on Berkeley Square in which a series of people insisted on passing a night and each of them in the morning was found and had just time to say, "I've seen it," and died.
East Sheen, The school was near London. It was established in a large and fairly old house - a great white building in the Thames valley. I think probably it was quite an attractive place, but boys seldom allow that their schools possess any tolerable features.
