There are no Charles Kingsleys nowadays, if there were, I should call myself a 'Kingsleyite'. But as matters stand I am not moved by the church to feel religious.
Very much of the enjoyment of that winter in London was due to the hospitable and companionable welcome of the author of "Tom Brown," and one of the most enjoyable items was the introduction to the evenings at Macmillan's, where the contributors to the magazine used to meet on Thursday evenings, if I remember rightly, and where I saw the Kingsleys, Charles only once, but Henry often enough to contract with him a pleasant friendship.
One may make it a maxim of general experience, and take it as fitting all the fools with a mission who have teased our generation all your Kingsleys, and Maurices, and Ruskins everyone bent on making any sort of aimless commotion, which may serve him both as an investment for the next world and an advertisement for this. 'Upon my word, Squire, said Lady Charlotte, 'I hope you don't expect Mr.
"Oh, nobody tells anything in Egypt, unless he's kourbashed or thumb-screwed. It's safer to tell nothing, you know." "Cousin! I didn't know there were Kingsleys in that family. What reason could the Consul have for hiding the relationship?" "Well, I don't know, you must ask Kingsley. Flamboyant and garrulous as he is, he probably won't tell you that."
While staying with the Kingsleys at Ilfracombe, he met Mrs. Kingsley's sister, Charlotte Grenfell, the Argemone of Yeast, a lady of somewhat wilful, yet most brilliant spirit, with a small fortune of her own. Miss Grenfell had joined the Church of Rome two years before, and at that time thought of entering a convent. This idea was extremely distasteful to her sister and her sister's husband.
You will sometimes find your elders laying their heads together and saying what a bad thing it is for young men to come into a little money that those always do best who have no expectancy, and the like. They will then quote some drivel from one of the Kingsleys about the deadening effect an income of 300 pounds a year will have upon a man. Avoid any one whom you may hear talk in this way.

Balls, tennis rackets, boxes of pet tools, favorite books, everything, in fact, had been thought of and cared for, and at last the eventful day of sailing arrived. A number of friends came to the city to see the Kingsleys off. They sat in the saloon of the big steamer with Mrs.
He acted from kindness, and respect for integrity. Froude, however, could not stay permanently with the Kingsleys. His father would have nothing to do with him, and in his son's opinion was right to leave him with the consequences of his own errors. But the outcry against him had been so violent and excessive as to provoke a reaction.
