The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume II

CHAPTER X
86/138

Robert must see W.
Landor (his adopted son, Sarianna) settled in his new apartment, with Wilson for a duenna.

It's an excellent plan for him, and not a bad one for Wilson.

He will pay a pound (English) a week for his three rooms, and she is to receive twenty-two pounds a year for the care she is to take of him, besides what is left of his rations.

Forgive me if Robert has told you this already.

Dear darling Robert amuses me by talking of his 'gentleness and sweetness.' A most courteous and refined gentleman he is, of course, and very affectionate to Robert (as he ought to be), but of self-restraint he has not a grain, and of suspiciousness many grains.
