Perhaps Burton's strong anti- Semitic views had something to do with the neglect. It was during this stay in London that the Burtons attended a meeting on spiritualism, at which Burton read a paper.
Among those who visited the Burtons at Trieste, was Alfred Bates Richards. After describing Mrs. Burton's sanctuary, he says: "Thus far, the belongings are all of the cross, but no sooner are we landed in the little drawing-rooms than signs of the crescent appear.
She came home in the fall, and when she called at the Burtons' to get a book, as usual, Mrs. Burton said, "Nelie, you're not feeling very well, are you? Somehow you looked fagged." "Well, I do feel queer," said the girl. "I seem to be in a kind of dream. It scares me. I'm afraid I'm going to be sick." "Oh, I guess not," Mrs. Burton answered comfortably. "You're just tired out.
This, however, was because it was too strong, for having diluted it with an equal quantity of brandy, he drank it with relish. After a visit to the battlefield of Meeanee the Burtons returned to Bombay in time for the feast of Muharram, and saw the Moslem miracle play representing the martyrdom and death of Hassan and Hossein, the sons of Ali.
"Since you have no regard for my feelings," said she, "you may let me out." "Oh, no, Amanda, my dear. Why, I'm going to give you a spin to Mountaindale!" "I do not care to be dragged there," she declared. "That is where the John Quincy Burtons ride." "Aren't they nice people? It seems to me I've heard you sing hosannas to their name these last twenty years." They were nice people indeed.
Payne sent him some twenty or thirty names in half a dozen literatures. From Geneva the Burtons made their way first to Vevey, where Sir Richard revelled in its associations with Ludlow, the English regicide, and Rousseau; and then to Lausanne for the sake of his great hero, Edward Gibbon; and on 12th March they were back again at Trieste. Writing to Mr.
The best known of these is that against the north wall, representing Thomas Lawrence, the father of Sir John, kneeling with folded hands face to face with his wife in the same attitude. Behind them are respectively their three sons and six daughters. This is the monument which Henry Kingsley refers to through the mouth of Joe Burton in his novel "The Hillyars and the Burtons."
Burton also told Payne about the proposed Ariosto translation, and they discussed that too, but nothing was done. On July 19th 1885, the Burtons lunched with Lord Houghton "our common Houghton," as Mr. Swinburne used to call him; and found his lordship unwell, peevish, and fault-finding.
"You can't do that!" returned Roy promptly. "He hasn't committed any crime." "But if we wait till he does commit one, it will be like locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen." "You might go over to the Burtons', Roy, and get Will to come and stay with us," Eva suggested. "And rouse them up at this hour of the night? It's getting on to be eleven o'clock.
After making a mess with chemicals, he would gaze intently at it, and say excitedly: "I wonder what will happen" an expression that was always expected of him on such and all other exciting occasions. A quadruple friendship ensued, and the Burtons, Drake and Palmer made several archaeological expeditions together. To Palmer's poetical eyes all the Lebanon region was enchanted ground.
