At eight I generally am in bed, or little after.

And people will come in occasionally in the day, and annul me.

I had a visit from Lady Annabella Noel lately, Lord Byron's granddaughter.

Very quiet, and very intense, I should say.

She is going away, and I shall not see her more than that once, I dare say; but she looked at me so with her still deep eyes, and spoke so feelingly, that I kissed her when she went away.
