Osborne Castle is the estate in Surrey owned by Lord Osborne. His mother Lady Osborne and sister Miss Osborne live with him, and Miss Osborne's friend Fanny Carr visits them there. The castle stands in the parish of Wickstead, and the clergyman of Wickstead is Lord Osborne's former tutor, Mr. Howard, who often visits the castle with his sister Mrs. Blake. They play vingt-un, and Mrs. Blake's son Charles admires the stuffed fox and badger.
