Egerton's rich collection, I may not again have so 

 convenient an opportunity of devoting a few days 

 to it as when passing so near his mansion in my 

 journey south by the railroad. . . .' 'I find my 

 grandmother by father's side lies buried in Wan- 

 stead Church, Essex, in the vault of the Froysels, 

 her family. She died a few hours after my father's 

 birth — very young. Some summer's day we must 

 make a holiday there, and I a pilgrimage to her 

 early tomb.'
