Henry James reviewed it so generously! so subtly! in the English Illustrated. Stopford Brooke and Bishop Creighton wrote to me with a warmth and emphasis that soon healed the wounds of the Scots Observer; and that the public was with them, and not with my castigators, was quickly visible from the wide success of the book.
This poor creature who has been murdered so brutally was a Miss Edith Grant. She was formerly an artist's model, and as such was a good deal employed by my brother, who is a painter Harold Stopford, you know, A.R.A. now " "I know his work very well, and charming work it is." "I think so, too.
September 6th. We called on Colonel Hodges. Sir Moses told him that he had determined to leave as soon as the Colonel should do so. From his manner of speaking, we gathered that he expected an outbreak in Syria, but no direct attack on the part of the English; Admiral Stopford had told him that we were by no means prepared; the ministers had been much deceived.
The Sabbath not being yet terminated, Lady Montefiore went in a sedan-chair, while Sir Moses and I walked. The Governor was in full uniform, wearing all his orders. Admiral Stopford took Lady Montefiore down to dinner, and promised to do all in his power to obtain a steamboat to take them to Jaffa. Both Sir Moses and Lady Montefiore were much pleased with their reception at the Palace.
It is impossible to describe the distress of Sir Moses as he became more and more convinced that, with a few exceptions, every one in the place, great and small, was opposed to the object of his Mission. Dr Madden and Mr Wire returned from Cairo, and Admiral Stopford arrived with part of the fleet. Sir Moses thought we should be obliged to leave very shortly. August 25th.
Stopford and his wife, the Ladies Jane and Charlotte Seymour, and one other lady and gentleman. I took down the Colonel's wife and sat opposite to the Princess. There were thirteen at table, and it was impossible for it to have been more agreeable. I never felt myself more at ease at any dinner party within my recollection.
What possible connection has the women's vote with Mrs. Stopford Brown?" "I thought you were speaking of dower laws. As for Mrs. Brown, haven't you already fitted the punishment to the crime?" "Then you will not officially contradict the rumor?" "Dear Aunt, I am not an official. And a rumor is of no importance until it is contradicted. Surely you are letting yourself get excited about nothing."
Levison Stopford did not make brilliant speeches, but he had a fair share of prominence in county business, was a middling landlord, a respectable head of a family, connected by marriage with a Whig peer, the father of a promising son, and, as the newspapers said, four lovely daughters. All these recommendations to public favour could not secure him against division in his native borough.
The British fleet employed on the occasion was under the command of Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, and the army under that of General Wetherall and Colonel Gillespie.
Miss Alice Stopford, by whose talents and devotion he was greatly assisted in carrying out and completing such work as his broken health enabled him to undertake during his few remaining years. Abandoning his proposed history of the Angevins, he confined himself to expanding his Short History into A History of the English People in 4 vols. After his death appeared The Conquest of England.
