platform, but a- genial, gracious host,
asking after the friends I had recently
left In Frankfort nnd making Inquiries
after those In Ireland ntid England,
especially after all young artists, for
whom he had n heart flowing over with
kindness and sympathy. Possibly hi#

he hmUlterally starved, had something
to do with this At the dinner table
I found out lie was thoroughly a bon

"After dlnnnr I had to go through
