'Pray, Mr.Borrow, who were they ?' He held up three fingers of his left hand and pointed them off with the forefinger of the right: the first, Daniel O'Connell; the second, Lamplighter (the sire of Phosphorus, Lord Berners's winner of the Derby); the third, Anna Gurney.

The first two were dead and he had not seen them; now he had come to see Anna Gurney, and this was the end of his visit.

I took him up to the Hall, he talking of many persons and occasionally doubling his fist, and giving a sort of warning like that of his Isopel Berners (in _Lavengro_) to give the Flaming Tinman 'Long Melford' with his right hand.

As soon as we reached the Hall a battle- piece by Wouvermans was the first thing that caught his eye and greatly interested him.

He told me of a descendant of Wouvermans--an officer in the Austrian army--whom he knew.
