Note 1 — 6. The Lady of a Tradition, Miss Sackville-West
Reading edition
“I cannot truthfully say,” writes Miss Sackville-West in Knole and the Sackvilles, “that I have ever verified these counts, and it may be that their accuracy is accepted solely on the strength of the legend; but, if this is so, then it has been a very persistent legend, and I prefer to sympathise with the amusement of the ultimate architect on making the discovery that by a judicious juggling with his additions he could bring courts, stairs and rooms up to that satisfactory total.”
