Like her husband, she has become deeply attached co Lindbergh, treats him Jike a child, and gets away wich ic. When Lindbergh—with little Jon in his arms “stepped off che doerscon Imperter at Gladstooe Dock in Li verpool on December 1935, anew life lay before him. The English Press had massed their crack #eperters to cover bis landing, and ducing fis Gist day at a Liverpool hotel, it looked as though England were going to be no berter than aE eer came Our with some sharp edirorials demand- ing ‘‘reasonable openness”’ fram the Lindberghs and threaten: gt secrecy would only aggravate the situarion. Then the British Broadcasting Company sent out the Colonel's plea for privacy. And the gress lords decided char they would reach the U. §. 2 lesson. For a week there was no mention in any paper of the family's wheee- abours, and after that only small paragraphs from time to time. The Lindbergis find peace lm Kamt Early in 1936, after a visit te London and several weeks of house hunting, the Colonel and Aone finally found the kind of a place they were looking for. “Long Barn” it was called, in the little Kentish village of Weald, four miles from the nearest town, yo miles from London.
