Robert was present when the question was mooted on the Duke's last evening.

_Should_ he send the body to England or bury it?
Would it be delicate to ask Lockhart which he preferred?
Somebody said: 'Suppose you were to ask what he would do with your body if you died yourself.' I am afraid poor Lockhart is really in a dangerous state of health, and that it would have been better if he had had something tenderer and more considerate than a dukedom travelling with him under his circumstances.

He called upon us, and took a great fancy to Robert, I understand, as being 'not at all like a damned literary man.' Penini is overwhelmed with attentions and gifts of all kinds, and generally acknowledged as the king of the children here.

Mrs.Page, the wife of the distinguished American artist, gave a party in honor of him the other day.

There was an immense cake inscribed '_Penini_' in sugar; and he sat at the head of the table and did the honors.
