I could see that, the day the picture was brought." "I don't like to begin on the subject with Casaubon," said Sir James. "He has more right to interfere than I. But it's a disagreeable affair all round.

Lady Caroline Lamb took a violent fancy to Lady Morgan, to whom she confided her Byronic love-troubles, while Lady Cork, who still maintained a salon, did not neglect her old protegee.
I know you told me how he looked, but I always thought he would be rather Byronic the poetical type, if you know what I mean." "He has a great deal of poetry in him," said Mr. Ambrose in a tone of profound admiration. "He writes the best Greek verse I ever saw." "Oh yes I daresay," replied Mrs. Goddard smiling in the dusk.
