One day Carter appeared at the City Road establishment, and made an opportunity of speaking to his clerk in private. 'I suppose, he said with a smile, 'they'll have to look out for someone else at Croydon? 'By no means! The thing is settled. I go at Christmas. 'You really mean that? 'Undoubtedly.

I keep moderately well, but always feel half-dead, yet manage to work away on vegetable physiology, as I think that I should die outright if I had nothing to do. Believe me yours very sincerely, Walron Edge, Duppas Hill, Croydon. September 23, 1878. Dear Darwin, Many thanks for your signature and good wishes.

But in 1837 the Liverpool and Birmingham line was opened; in 1838 the London and Birmingham and the Liverpool and Preston lines, and an Act was passed for transmitting the mails by rail; in 1839 there was the opening of the London and Croydon line.

Johnson, I think very properly, altered it to all-knowing, as it is a verbum solenne, appropriated to the Supreme Being. Mrs. Thrale wrote to him on May 3: 'Should you write about Streatham and Croydon, the book would be as good to me as a journey to Rome, exactly; for 'tis Johnson, not Falkland's Islands that interest us, and your style is invariably the same.

Your references to the Mauritius literature are very interesting, and will be useful to me; and again thanking you for your valuable remarks, believe me yours very faithfully, Pen-y-bryn, St. Peter's Road, Croydon. November 21, 1880. My dear Darwin, Many thanks for your new book containing your wonderful series of experiments and observations on the movements of plants.

Whereupon O'Hara, in an agony of doubt, had telegraphed Frankl from Newhaven: "For God's sake find Harris. Make him meet me at Croydon to-night in the 9.45 from Newhaven. Do not fail".

Dunning, disguised as far as might be, was to have no label or initials on any hand luggage, and must at all costs have the paper with him. Dunning's suspense as he waited on the Croydon platform I need not attempt to describe.
