1590 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 x 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 ' Gluardian ' 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 ' 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 Eev. Philip Napier Waggett, now of Cowley St. John, who was 

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

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



2 The Rev. R. Clarke, S.J. 



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

 Guardian.
