Gordon Square is not one of the most romantic of the Bloomsbury
Squares. . . . It is prosperous middle class and thoroughly mid-Victorian. But I can assure you that in October of 1904
it was the most beautiful, the most exciting the most romantic place in the world. To begin with it was astonishing to stand at the
drawing room window and look into all those trees; the tree which shoots its
branches up into the air and lets them fall in a shower, the tree which glistens
after rain like the body of a seal.
