I have not written on Longfellow's sonnets, for even you, impeccable sonneteer, admit that you admire them as much as I do. To Thomas Egerton, Esq., Lothian College, Oxford. Dear Egerton, Yes, as you say, Mr. Sidney Colvin's new "Life of Keats" has only one fault, it's too short. Perhaps, also, it is almost too studiously free from enthusiasm. Colvin for his example of reserve.
Sidney Colvin, who now came to pay a visit to the editor, after nursing his friend R. L. Stevenson through one of his dangerous attacks of illness. My husband esteemed highly Mr. Colvin's knowledge and acquirements. During his short stay this esteem expanded into personal regard, and in after years, whenever a meeting with him was possible, it invariably afforded gratification.
Your father's name, now, was " "Amos Colvin, sir." "Good Lord!" exclaimed Standifer, rising and unbuttoning his tight coat, excitedly. "Are you Amos Colvin's daughter? Why, ma'am, Amos Colvin and me were thicker than two hoss thieves for more than ten years! We fought Kiowas, drove cattle, and rangered side by side nearly all over Texas. I remember seeing you once before, now.
Colvin," said Miss Darwell; and she put her arms round the excellent governess's neck and kissed her; and then, running and opening a door, led her visitors into a large room which they had not seen before. It was furnished with shelves, on which many books and toys were ranged in order for it was one of Mrs. Colvin's wishes to make her pupil neat. Mr.
Colvin's rooms, for I also was "ordered South," I first met this surprising figure. In some rhymes of his later years, when Count Nerli was painting his portrait, Louis wrote: "Oh, will he paint me the way I like, and as bonny as a girlie, Or will he make me an ugly tyke; and be d to Mr. Nerli?"
