Before the month and year were out no date given, let us call it Christmas Shelley and family were nested in a furnished house in Windsor, "at no great distance from the Boinvilles" these decoys still residing at Bracknell. What we need, now, is a misleading conjecture.
"Him Venice!" said the Lascar with the big earrings; and Tony Bracknell, leaning on the high gunwale of his father's East Indiaman, the Hepzibah B., saw far off, across the morning sea, a faint vision of towers and domes dissolved in golden air.
Took the horses; went to meet of Queen's Hounds; stayed there till April 19th. To Mr. W. Longman Old Bracknell House, April 13th. My dear William, I am glad you have been to see my scrap of land. I have taken a great fancy to the spot, and should be very well contented to end my days there, gazing on that magnificent view of the coast and the sea.
Reeve and dear Hopie, and to yourself. I am very sincerely yours, Continuing the Journal: To Bracknell again on June 1st. Attended Ascot for the last time. The Shah of Persia was in London this year, and was received in state. The Queen lent him Buckingham Palace. June 25th. Goschen's fete to the Shah of Persia at Greenwich Hospital. Fine sight. We steamed through the docks after the Shah. 29th.
To recapitulate, how much of Cornelia's society has Shelley had, thus far? Portions of August and September, and four days of July. That is to say, he has had opportunity to enjoy it, more or less, during that brief period. Did he want some more of it? We must fall back upon history, and then go to conjecturing. "In the early part of the year 1814, Shelley was a frequent visitor at Bracknell."
To Bracknell to see the Winkfield land; and to Timsbury for Christmas. At Bournemouth early in January, about the house. To London on January 11th. January 25th. Lord Lytton's funeral in Westminster Abbey. February 14th. Dined at Harvie Farquhar's. He was one of C. Greville's executors, and was curious about the Journals. To Mr. W. Longman C.O., March 4th.

We get it with characteristic promptness and depravity: "But Prince Athanase found not the aged Zonoras, the friend of his boyhood, in any wanderings to Windsor. Dr. Lind had died a year since, and with his death Windsor must have lost, for Shelley, its chief attraction." Still, not to mention Shelley's wife, there was Bracknell, at any rate. While Bracknell remains, all solace is not lost.
"Him Venice!" said the Lascar with the big earrings; and Tony Bracknell, leaning on the high gunwale of his father's East Indiaman, the Hepzibah B., saw far off, across the morning sea, a faint vision of towers and domes dissolved in golden air.
In the hall of the old Bracknell house at Salem there hung a series of yellowing prints which Uncle Richard Saulsbee had brought home from one of his long voyages: views of heathen mosques and palaces, of the Grand Turk's Seraglio, of St.
Until that time comes, the charms of Bracknell will remain in his memory, along with Mrs. Boinville's voice and Cornelia Turner's smile: "Thou in the grave shalt rest yet, till the phantoms flee Which that house and hearth and garden made dear to thee ere while, Thy remembrance and repentance and deep musings are not free From the music of two voices and the light of one sweet smile."
