Her elder sister married the son of the -reptor of Buckland, near Reigate.. who was in the Indian Civil Sor- ice, so we wonder if it was through this that Miss Slade went out
y India, met Gandhi, and joined the Indian movement."
Here on the estate of her grand inther, Mr. James Carr Saunders, Miss Slade spent most of her girl hood and young womanhood be. tween, roughly, 1907 and 1920, and only left when her grandfather, a Milton Heath is a small twenty- well-to-do City men why was chair-acre estate under the chalk downe man of several ccrapanies, died. of Raamore.

At the foot of the rolling parkland there is a stream, the Pipp brook, a mill-pod fringed by alders and a romantic old water-mill of which Miss Slade was particularly fond, If she revisits the mill to-day she will find it dismantled and deserted, gaunt empty place overgrown with nottles and ivy.›
