gh unendurable. While Burton was
alive she still had some dim notion of her place, but after his death
she broke the traces, and Lady Burton had, with deep regret, to part
with her. They separated very good friends, however, for Lady Burton was
generosity itself. By this time she had been pretty well cured of lady's
maid and servant pets, at any rate we hear of no other.

Lady Burton was also distressed by an attack make in The Times upon the
memory of her husband by Colonel Grant, who declared that Burton had
treated both Speke and their native followers with inhumanity. Lady
Burton replied with asperity--giving the facts much as we have given
them in Chapter ix. Grant died 10th February 1892.

On January 20th, Burton's remains were taken to England by the steamer
"Palmyra." Lady Burton then walked round and round to every room,
recalling all her life in that happy home and all the painful events
that had so recently taken place. She gazed pensively and sadly at the
beautiful views from the windows and went "into every nook and cranny of
the garden." The very walls seemed to mourn with her.

On arriving in England on February 9th her first concern was to call
on Lady Stisted and Miss Stisted, in order to "acquaint them with the
circumstances of her husband's death and her intentions." The meeting
was a painful one both to them and to her. They plainly expressed their
disapproval of the scenes that had been enacted in the death chamber and
at the funerals at Trieste; and they declared that as Protestants they
