Additional information accompanying item: "Had I but plenty of money, money enough and to spare, The house for me, no doubt, were a house in the city-square; Ah, such a life, such a life, as one leads at the window there! ***** Houses in four straight lines, not a single front awry; You watch who crosses and gossips, who saunters, who hurries by *****Ere you open your eyes in the city, the blessed church-bells begin: You get the pick of the news, and it costs you never a pin. " -- Robert Browning in "Up at a Villa - Down in the City."
