England from their Irish home. She had seen a good deal of barrack
life, and at Alvington Lodge, Granada Street, Southsea,[4] where they
went to live, she acquired a large knowledge of both services in the
circle of naval and military friends they made there, and this
knowledge years afterward she turned to good account in her novel
Between Two Thieves.
