The Three Midshipmen
Author: William Henry Giles Kingston
The Three Midshipmen – Early Days – Ours was a capital school, though it was not a public one. It was not far from London, so that a coach could carry us down there in little more than an hour from the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly.
On the top of the posts, at each side of the gates, were two eagles; fine large birds I thought them. They looked out on a green, fringed with tall elms, beyond which was our cricket-field.
A very magnificent red-brick old house rose behind the eagles, full of windows belonging to our sleeping-rooms. The playground was at the back of the house, with a grand old tulip tree in the center, a tectum for rainy weather on one side, and the large school room on the other.
Warmest Regards, Coyalita Linville
