1890 DINING 197 



dinner I went to St. James's Theatre, and there saw 

 one of the best pieces of acting I have ever seen. 

 Yours in Zeit and Ewigkeit. Waggett 1 came in for 

 an hour, and I gave him my book. 



I went to see Father Clarke. 2 I had to go to a 

 vegetarian dinner, but secured a good luncheon at 

 the club first ! 



To J. Romanes, Esq. 



March 15, 1889. 



I am glad you think so well of what I write, for it 

 often seems to me that, amid so many distractions 

 and in so many directions, I work to very little pur- 

 pose. The ' Guardian ' reviewer 3 has written to me 

 a private letter, from which it appears that he is a 

 man I know very well. He is Aubrey Moore, of 

 Oxford, and is considered one of the ablest men there. 

 I enclose his letter, which I failed to send before. 



It is indeed a change for you to like being nursed, 

 and perhaps not altogether a bad one from the 

 character point of view. The only l explanation ' I 

 can give is that of the ' adaptation of the organism to 

 changed conditions of life.' 



Journal, May 1889. Our dear Mr. Henry Pollock 

 is dead. Wisest, kindest of friends. Geanies will be 

 so sad now. So many who had helped to make it 

 bright are gone. 



1 The Kev. Philip Napier Waggett, now of Cowley St. John, who WMS 

 one of Mr. Romanes' most intimate friends. Mr. Waggett's scientific 

 attainments made him a valuable as well as a much-loved friend. 



~ The Eev. E. Clarke, S.J. 



3 Mr. Aubrey Moore reviewed Mental Evolution in Man in the 

 Guardian.
