‘It is undeniably dull here, but I can hold out. ... This is a grand house … I have a room as big as all our first floor besides a dressing room & a bathroom … I would not live in such a house, though, for twice ten thousand a year. I should cut down all the trees sell the park for building lots & make the house into a hotel.’ (Selected Letters of Leslie Stephen, ed. John W. Bicknell [Macmillan, 1986], [Autumn 1871], Vol. I, p. 107)
