As I said in a recent letter home, you may be able to enjoy steaks and chops at will but we at least (and I have my fingers carefully crossed as I write this!) can still have elec- tricity when we want it. I'm sure Canadian ancestors who coped with wood stoves and can- dles must be enjoying a quiet smile to see modern efficiency curl up and grow cold. Perhaps England could arrange to send gift parcels of candles and oil lamps to Ontario in this her hour of need! Lighting here, of course, is not back to the pre- war level. The new Trafalgar Square fountains are lit only two nights a week although they did burst into a flamboyant splash of blue to celebrate the arrival of the small prince.

The court dof cobble is a perfect setting with kennels and riding paddock beyond, through an archway in the stables. Over this arch is an old painting, one of "the Inn's early signs, which depicts the unfortunate pedlar whose ad- venture gave the Haycock it's name.. He had fallen a haycock and awoke latex, "in wild water, ahove poor man with fear 'churning his blood" clung to his insecure craft as the flood waters whirl- ed him toward the Elizabethan Bridge. The townsfolk of Wans- ford crowded to the antient bridge to see the peculiar sight of, "A haycock mann'd by a midge." "He cried, ing tone, "Good people, "At Wansford", one, As the haycock drifted nigh. "What! Wansford-in-England?" shouted he; "Good people is it true?
