1857-04-08: "April 8th. Since I made the last entry in my journal we have had many delicious walks and seen many beautiful sights - on clear days the smaller islands with their lovely colouring specking the blue sea, the white foam prancing round them; on more sombre days the grand rocky coast of the southern side of St. Mary's - Peninis, the Giant's Castle etc. Or we have walked over the furze and heath clad hills and heard the air ringing with larks. Since we came here Chrissey has lost her pretty little Fanny, and I am still waiting anxiously for news of Katy and herself- both ill as ever when I last heard. News, too, has come from Barbara in Algiers - the probability of her marrying Dr. Bodichon, a French army physician. Today I have finished Mr. Gilfil's Love Story". We are reading Carlyle's Cromwell and Aurora Leigh again in the evenings. I am still in the Oedipus Tyrannus, with Shelley's poems, and snatches of Natural History." Diary 1854-1861 68
1857-04-22: "22. Letter from my Brother saying Chrissey is worse. I am deeply depressed and feeling the ills of life more than the blessings, though these are so many. A letter from Barbara too. Reading the Oedipus Coloneus and Shelley. I have begun Draper's Physiology, too but rarely have spirit and clearness of brain for it. Tonight we finished Aurora Leigh for the second time." Diary 1854-1861 68
