“19. This evening I read aloud to G. again, at his request the first 45 pages of my romance, Charlie also being present. The rain has been constant all day. Nevertheless we have been to the British Museum, and I have picked some details from Manni's life of Bartolommeo Scala- also from Borghini's Discorsi, about the simplicity of the Florentine table equipage. I have lately read again with great delight Mrs Browni ng's "Casa Guidi Windows". It contains amongst other admirable things a very noble expression of what I believe to be the true relation of the religious mind to the Past.'” Diary 1861-1877 109
