The idea of a trip to Italy also tempted him atlast, and this, too, came to nothing. The springbefore his return to London his brother was married,and we find him demurring at joining in the weddingfestivities. I am most loath, even to great regret,to be away from the party on the eve of your wed-ding ; but the fact is that, at such a gathering asyou indicate, every bore I know and dont knowwould swoop down on me after these two yearsabsence, and I am not equal to it, now that solitudeis the habit of my life. This sentence is the only hint that reaches usthrough his letters of the sad drama going on be-neath the apparently commonplace surface of a dailyexistence marked by records of frolics with childrenand dogs, of the blooming of flowers in their sea-sons, of books read and friends affectionately re-membered, and of long walks over the countryabout Kelmscott.
