        Once on a dark winter's day，when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of
    London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they did at night，

    they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school.
        "Couldn't you go to that place with me，Papa？＂she had asked when she was five years old．
