Oh, I shudder to think of the lines which might have been 'nicked in, and all through Mr. Chorley's good nature. As if I had not sins enough to ruin me in the new poems, without reviving juvenile ones, sinned when I knew no better. Perhaps you would like to have the series of epic poems which I wrote from nine years old to eleven.
Chorley's note, my dear cousin, with thankful thoughts of him as of you.
Chorley's sake, to give us some more of your 'papers, though 'blessed be the hour, and month, and year' when he set about editing the 'Ladies' Companion' and persuading you to do such a thing. No, what I want to say is strictly personal to me. You are the kindest, warmest-hearted, most affectionate of critics, and precisely as such it is that you have thrown me into a paroxysm of terror.
But I think as a character, when duly corrected, my work may not come out amiss. Ever yours faithfully, HENRY F. CHORLEY. Endorsed Chorley's last note. From the Journal: January 24th. Went to see the Sandhursts at Brighton, but gout came on worse, and I was ill for some weeks.
Each man sings according to his voice, and gives in proportion to his means. The maidens of England strewed roses before her feet at Gravesend when she landed.

For instance, the fragments of her letters in his 'Memorials of Mrs.

There was a great bustling and chattering afterwards in the green-room, where the actors were trying to find cloaks and shawls and hats, for they were all to go to Mr Chorley's to supper, and no one seemed able to get hold of the right things. Fraulein was fussing about her overshoes which she had lost, and there was a general struggle and confusion.
The moral of your letter, my dearest cousin, certainly is that no green herb of a secret will spring up and flourish between you and me. The loss of Flush was a secret. And Mr. Chorley's letter to me was a third secret. All turned into light! For the last, you may well praise me for discretion.
