In the noisy London suburb of to-day it isdifficult to recognise the quiet old village ofTottenham High Cross with its peaceful housesand gardens. Not only are the bricks and mortarof old Tottenham gone and the outward flavour ofold-worldliness vanished, but even sadder is thescattering of that society of cousins and friendswho lived in an atmosphere of quiet culture.
