Now, make a guess." "How can you?" said Mrs. Stacy. "You know, Matthew, dear, I never was good at conundrums and such like."
Among the friends of Lady Morgan's old age were the Carter Halls, Hepworth Dixon, Miss Jewsbury, Hayward, and Douglas Jerrold. Lord Campbell, old Rogers, and Cardinal Wiseman frequented her soirees, though with the last-named she had waged a pamphlet war over the authenticity of St. Peter's chair at Rome.
