"Here lives Miss Banner, the dearest old lady in the Village, and at one time the School Mistress. We pass on our newspapers to her, and she comes to any entertainments we may have. She is a great friend of our boys, who give her for presents on the Christmas Tree things to startle her like Jacks in the Box, jumping mice, curling snakes and lions with jointed legs. The front parlour is full of such things. In it, too, she has a picture of the Flight into Egypt, of which she is very proud, because someone has told her it is an 'Original.' She taught four of us to read, and our great delight was to go round to her back door and pretend to be beggars. She always gave beggars bread and cheese, apples or something; so, of course, she had any number of them. There is a famous apple-tree by her garden gate, which we loved to frighten her by climbing. Then she would come out to the gate, look up the street and pretend she saw Mr [Henry Pitt Cholmondeley] coming, and in that way try to frighten us to come down." - R.E.Cholmondeley: Adlestrop: It's cottages and their inhabitants 1876-77.
