Then would follow sundry other visits and meetings--to Tavistock House, to Gadshill, at Verey's in Regent Street, a place he much patronised, &c., &c.

I remember one day meeting Chauncy Hare Townsend at Tavistock House and thinking him a very singular and not particularly agreeable man.

Edwin Landseer I remember dined there the same day.

But he had been a friend of my mother's, and was my acquaintance of long long years before.
Of course we had much and frequent talk about Italy, and I may say that our ideas and opinions, and especially feelings on that subject, were always, I think, in unison.

Our agreement respecting English social and political matters was less perfect.
