One of them saw what she afterwards believed to have been his phantom, and another dreamed that he was dead.

They talked much of death, and it is noticeable that the last words written to him by Jane were these:--"Are you going to join your friend Plato ?" The Leigh Hunts arrived at last in Genoa, whence they again sailed for Leghorn.

Shelley heard the news upon the 20th of June.

He immediately prepared to join them; and on the 1st of July set off with Williams in the "Don Juan" for Leghorn, where he rushed into the arms of his old friend.

Leigh Hunt, in his autobiography, writes, "I will not dwell upon the moment." From Leghorn he drove with the Hunts to Pisa, and established them in the ground-floor of Byron's Palazzo Lanfranchi, as comfortably as was consistent with his lordship's variable moods.
