There I was entertained by Mrs. Matilda Roby, who, with her husband, gave me a most hospitable reception.
She invited several friends to luncheon one day, among others Miss Lydia Becker, editor of the _Suffrage Journal_ in that city, and the Rev.Mr.Steinthal, who had visited this country and spoken on our platform.
The chief topic at the table was John Stuart Mill, his life, character, writings, and his position with reference to the political rights of women.
In the evening we went to see Ristori in '"Queen Elizabeth." Having seen her, many years before, in America, I was surprised to find her still so vigorous.
And thus, week after week, suffrage meetings, receptions, dinners, luncheons, and theaters pleasantly alternated. The following Sunday we heard in London a grand sermon from Moncure D. Conway, and had a pleasant interview with him and Mrs.Conway at the close of the session.
