The only family with whom the poet maintained any degree of intimacy was that of the Earl of Blessington, consisting of the Earl himself a gouty old gentleman, with stories about him of the past the Countess, and her sister, Miss Power, and the "cupidon déchaîné," the Anglo-French Count Alfred d'Orsay who were to take part in stories of the future.
When he returned to Hong-Kong, there was a reply to his cable: "Hang on. Find that boy." Some order. South America was big; but ten thousand islands, scattered all over the biggest ocean on the map!
