known me to be English--had known my uncle, Sir
John, in Germany--recognised in me, as a family trait, some of his _grand
air_ and studious courtesy--asked me to call.' And again (May 30th),
'visited the Baronne de Gondremark--much gratified--a most _refined_,
_intelligent_ woman, quite of the old school, now, _helas_! extinct--had
read my _Remarks on Sicily_--it reminds her of my uncle, but with more of
grace--I feared she thought there was less energy--assured no--a softer
style of presentation, more of the _literary grace_, but the same firm
grasp of circumstance and force of thought--in short, just Buttonhole's
opinion. Much encouraged. I have a real esteem for this patrician
lady.' The acquaintance lasted some time; and when Mr. Cotterill left in
the suite of Lord Protocol, and, as he is careful to inform us, in
Admiral Yardarm's flag-ship, one of his chief causes of regret is to
leave 'that most _spirituelle_ and sympathetic lady, who already regards
me as a younger brother.'
