In the short story Sanctuary, Laburnum Cottage is the home of Mr and Mrs Mundy in Chipping Cleghorn. They live there with Jewel, a little girl who they are looking after on behalf of someone else. However, as Mrs Mundy had just had a stroke a week before the events in the story, and Mr Mundy is periodically ill with pneumonia, the Mundys expect to move out soon and move into an infirmary.
