_THE LAST CHRONICLE OF BARSET_--LEAVING THE POST OFFICE--_ST. PAUL'S MAGAZINE_. I will now go back to the year 1867, in which I was still living at Waltham Cross. I had some time since bought the house there which I had at first hired, and added rooms to it, and made it for our purposes very comfortable. It was, however, a rickety old place, requiring much repair, and occasionally not as weather-tight as it should be.
