artist has perhaps its hereditary root in her father's draughtsmanship.
The younger daughter, Margaret, is married to Mr. Geoffrey Keynes.

George's relations with his family were most happy. His diary never
fails to record the dates on which the children came home, or the black
days which took them to school. There are constantly recurring entries
in his diary of visits to the boys at Marlborough or Winchester, or of
the journeys to arrange for the schooling of the girls in England or
abroad. The parents took pains that their children should have
opportunities of learning conversational French and German.

George's characteristic energy showed itself not only in these ways but
also in devising bicycling expeditions and informal picnics for the whole
family, to the Fleam Dyke, to Whittlesford, or other pleasant spots near
home; and these excursions he enjoyed as much as anyone of the party. As
he always wished to have his children with him, one or more generally
accompanied him and his wife when they attended congresses or other
scientific gatherings abroad.

His house was the scene of many Christmas dinners, the first of which I
find any record being in 1886. These meetings were often made an
occasion for plays acted by the children; of these the most celebrated
was a Cambridge version of _Romeo and Juliet_, in which the hero and
heroine were scions of the rival factions of Trinity and St. John's.

Games and Pastimes.

As an undergraduate George played tennis--not the modern out-door game,
but that regal pursuit which is sometimes known as the game of kings and
otherwise as the king of games. When George came up as an undergraduate
there were two tennis courts in Cambridge, one in the East Road, the
other being the ancient one that gave its name to Tennis Court Road, and
was pulled down to make room for the new buildings of Pembroke. In this
way was destroyed the last of the College tennis courts of which we read
in Mr. Clark's _History_. I think George must have had pleasure in the
obvious development of the tennis court from some primaeval farm-yard in
which the _pent-house_ was the roof of a shed, and the _grille_ a real
window or half-door. To one brought up on evolution there is also a
satisfaction about the French terminology which survives in _e.g._ the
_Tambour_ and the _Dedans_. George put much thought into acquiring a
correct styl
