Shakepeare says he'd like to retire to the country.

"I think so . . . when I'm ready." Shakespeare looked into the crackling fire, and as he went on quietly talking I knew he was looking straight through the flames and the black chimney into Warwickshire. "That house I bought last year at Stratford—"

"New Place.?"

"Yes. That's the home for me, not those poky rooms in Bishopsgate. I want a garden. I want a river; the Thames isn't a river here ; it's a street and a sewer and a cemetery!" He turned suddenly to me. "What do you say, Peter.? Where do you mean to end your days.? London—or Cumberland.?"
