I MISS LORINA BULWER HAVE BEEN TO SANDRINGHAM NORFOLK AND ADMIRED THE GATES AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE LIMETREE WALK
- Role: backdrop
- In the article: In the letter, Bulwer describes a visit to Sandringham: the gates at the Limetree Walk, a scarlet-coated huntsman, and a child riding a donkey in a panier. It is one of the few sustained, vivid descriptive scenes in an otherwise dense run of accusations and genealogy.
- Why it matters: A rare moment of concrete, remembered place within the letter, tied to her royal-connection fantasies. Elsewhere in the letter it is one of many place names; the scene gives it more weight than most.
- Real vs. fictional: The visit is her own account within a letter the article describes as rambling; its accuracy is not established by the text.
