In 1847 Bowring wrote to Borrow enquiring as to the Russian route through Kiakhta, and asking if he could put him in the way of obtaining the information for the use of a Parliamentary Committee then enquiring into England's commercial relations with China.
"Oh no. Not at all." Clare stared at the wall opposite and leaned back in her chair. "Oh! thanks awfully! I was afraid you might think so, you know." Mrs. Bowring leaned forward as her daughter leaned back.
They came out upon the platform before the deep recess of the rocks in which stood the black cross. There was nobody there. "We shall not be disturbed out here," said Mrs. Bowring, quietly. "The people in the hotel go to their rooms after luncheon. We will sit down there by the cross, if you don't mind I'm not so strong as I used to be, you know."
The Westminster Review had made a good start, and drew attention to the rising 'group' J. S. Mill declares that it never formed a 'school. From the very first the Mills distrusted Bowring and disapproved of some articles; the elder Mill failed to carry his disciples with him, partly because they were already in favour of giving votes to women; and as the Review soon showed itself unable to pay its way, some new arrangement became necessary.
He rose at dawn and went for long walks in the hills, with the idea that the early air and the lofty coolness would do him good, and with the acknowledged intention of doing his walking at an hour when he could not possibly be with Clare. For he could not keep away from her, whether Mrs. Bowring were with her or not.
"I think I shall send on board for my things and stay here." The young man started as though he had been struck, and faced her in silence. He could not help seeing Clare Bowring beyond her. "I'm going indoors, mother," said the young girl, rising rather abruptly. "I'm sure it must be time for tea. Won't you come too?"
Brook and Clare walked back towards the little group. "Brook, dear," said Lady Johnstone. "Please come and tell me the names of all the mountains and places we see from here. You know, I always want to know everything as soon as I arrive." Sir Adam rose from his chair. "Should you like to take a turn?" he asked, speaking to Mrs. Bowring and standing before her.
The Songs of Scandinavia now became to Borrow what the Celebrated Trials had been four years previously, a source of constant toil. On one occasion he writes to Dr Bowring telling him that he has just translated an ode "as I breakfasted." What Borrow lived on at this period it is impossible to say.
Now, in this dilemma I met George Bowring, who saw my distress, and most kindly pressed me to stay at his house till some female arose to manage my affairs for me. This, of course, I declined to do, especially under present circumstances; and, with mutual pity, we parted.
The arrangement is intended to show what were the topics which attracted his attention at successive periods. The collected Works, edited by Bowring, appeared from 1838 to 1843 in eleven volumes, the last two containing the life and an elaborate index.
