The interpolated story (in the form of a narrative poem) told in 'Three Evenings in the House' is by Adelaide Anne Procter. The Conclusion to 'Three Evenings in the House' [beginning 'I could warmly and sincerely praise the little poem',] however, is part of the framework of A House to Let - part, that is, of the linking and bridging sections that Dickens usually wrote himself. See notes to The Seven Poor Travellers and A House to Let [1858 Christmas].
