Eighty Years And More; Reminiscences 1815-1897

CHAPTER XXII
8/42

This scene put to flight all intentions of speaking on my part lest I, too, might get outside the prescribed limits and be suppressed by force.

I dined, that day, with Mrs.Nichol, at Huntly Lodge, where she has entertained in turn many of our American reformers.

Her walls have echoed to the voices of Garrison, Rogers, Samuel J.May, Parker Pillsbury, Henry C.Wright, Douglass, Remond, and hosts of English philanthropists.

Though over eighty years of age, she was still awake to all questions of the hour, and generous in her hospitalities as of yore.
Mrs.Margaret Lucas, whose whole soul was in the temperance movement, escorted me from Edinburgh to Manchester, to be present at another great demonstration in the Town Hall, the finest building in that district.

It had just been completed, and, with its ante-room, dining hall, and various apartments for social entertainments, was by far the most perfect hall I had seen in England.
