Among the pleasures I had promised myself was that of a visit to Tennyson, at the Isle of Wight. I feared, however, that this would be rendered impracticable by reason of the very recent death of his younger son, Lionel. But I learned from Mr. Locker-Lampson, whose daughter Mr.
Locker-Lampson Robert Browning's Mother Her Character and Antecedents Their Influence upon her Son Nervous Delicacy imparted to both her Children Its special Evidences in her Son. It was almost a matter of course that Robert Browning's father should be disinclined for bank work.
