fuse to speak all he thought about them?
And yet one of the first things he re-
ceived. in the course of his illness was a
letter from the Bishop of his diocese to
express his extreme sorrow, a letter and
book from the Dean of Chester, and
another letter from Archdeacon Law,
of Gloucester; also, another from a
very, very High Churchman, whose
name he would not mention, because
he was so dreadfully high,all expressive
of deep love to him. It seemed strange
to him that such a grumpy individual
