She dreamed that she was driving from Mortlake to Roehampton.

He who would realize how men have differed in their moral outlook on life might read the lives of Aristippus, Epicurus and Zeno, in Diogenes Laertius; or follow the account, in Sidgwick's History of Ethics, of Aristotle's teaching, as compared with the ethics of the Church. Several foot-notes are given which might be followed up.

The kindest notices I have had, or at all events those that have given me most pleasure, have been educed by this Society A. Sidgwick's paper, that of Professor Corson, Miss Lewis' article in this month's 'Macmillan' and I feel grateful for it all, for my part, and none the less for a little amusement at the wonder of some of my friends that I do not jump up and denounce the practices which must annoy me so much.
