Excerpt from All Fools: Being the Story of Some Very Young Men and a Girl Mr. Douglas Lee-Stretton, better known to his immediate friends by the name of "Bunny, " had come to London in order to prepare himself by diligent study for a Government appointment, which would, some day or other, be offered for competition. To this end his parents had placed him under the care of one Samuel Thompson, a private tutor of many years' experience, in whose house the dear boy would enjoy every advantage that money can procure. This establishment, like many others of its kind, was located in South Kensington, in that great labyrinth of respectable streets, which lies between High Street and the Cromwell Road. From the window of Bunny's bedroom at the top of the house, the tower of the Imperial Institute was to be seen on a clear day, rising above the waste of roofs with their irregular growth of chimney-pots. But the window also afforded a glimpse of the street immediately below, and, by leaning out, he could observe the passers-by on either pavement.
