disappointed when l saw it. But as we
came into Paddington from Warwick 1
seemed to feel the spirit of London's great
ness stealing over me. and somehow, I
appeared to myself as infinitely small and
insignificant. Londons mightiness, Lon
don's awful vastness had crushed me- 1
remember that drive from Paddington to the
Royal Hotel through the broad Bayswater
road where the motor buses whizzed past,
and down Park lane. Somehow Park lane
did not come up to my expectations. I
thought 1 should find street of palaces,
but with a few exceptions the houses
(from the outside. at leas0 looked like
ordinary villas. But Trafalgar Square at
night was beautiful. and there was some
thing noble about the Nelson column rising
blackly to the clouds. The double-decked
trans on the Ennbankment were also new to
me- and though the drive from the station
had been a fairly long one, knew that we
had not crossed hftieth part OF London o
