” Dear sir john,—And will youreally come? It's so wonderful to think you can forgive me all the ill-tempered things I've said about insects and evolution and—everything nearly that you've been most interested in—and will see the Lake Country first from my terrace—where, however, Darwin has walked also. And it is a terrace—a mere nook of turf above a nest of garden—but commanding such a piece of lake and hill as can only be seen in England. I shall be here all the year, and whenever you can prevail on Lady Lubbock to seclude herself from the world—(there is not a house south of us on either side the lake for four miles)—and on Miss Lubbock to take up her quarrel where we broke off— irreconcilable—you will find Brantwood gate wide on its furthest hinges to you.
