I hate eccentricity.

I once wrote to him to ask him if he would paint a Holy Family for St.Bede's.
_Man_: And what did he reply?
_Priest_: He didn't reply.

Considering that he wasn't even an R.A., I don't think that it was quite nice of him.

However, Maria Lady Rowndell insists that he must be buried in Westminster Abbey.

She asked me what I could do.
_Woman_: Buried in Westminster Abbey! I'd no idea he was so big as all that! Gracious! _Priest_: I have the greatest confidence in Maria Lady Rowndell's taste, and certainly I bear no grudge.
