Historic Brent House.
which make their presence known by
their smell.
| In the early days of Its association
•vith "blythe Nell," the big mansion
about to be demolished stood in ex-
tensive grounds. Nell Gwynn was la-
stalled In Brent house In almost re-
gal state, and it was here that Charles
II. and she hud some of their worst
quarrels. It is recorded that after
one of these tiffs the lovers parted
on one occasion supposedly forever,
but that night Charles came back to
Brent house and was so anxious to
see his lady love that he rode his
horse up the stairs to the second
story.
Brent house figures largely In most
of the episodes connected wltfc
Charles' Infatuation for "pretty, witty
Nelly," as the Londoners were wont
to call her.
The house stands quite close to a
tiny stream called the Brent. In
Charles II.'s time this rivulet was ar-
tificially widened and deepened so as
to accommodate the royal barge, which
could come up to the house without at-
tracting an undue amount of attention.
It was doubtless this feature of the
place which possessed a certain
amount of attraction for the royal
lover. At this mansion Charles held
some of his grandest banquets, and
Brent house has the dubious distinc-
tion of having witnessed many of ttia
monarch's maddest doings.
