Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay

CHAPTER I
66/120

Since I wrote to you yesterday, I have enjoyed myself more than I have ever done since I came to Shelford.

Mr.
Hodson called about twelve o'clock yesterday morning with a pony for me, and took me with him to Cambridge.

How surprised and delighted was I to learn that I was to take a bed at Queen's College in Dean Milner's apartments! Wilberforce arrived soon after, and I spent the day very agreeably, the Dean amusing me with the greatest kindness.

I slept there, and came home on horseback to-day just in time for dinner.
The Dean has invited me to come again, and Mr.Preston has given his consent.

The books which I am at present employed in reading to myself are, in English, Plutarch's Lives, and Milner's Ecclesiastical History; in French, Fenelon's Dialogues of the Dead.
