which all loyal Englishmen look upon with pride,
and history speaks Of as "the golden days OF Good

And this was the inspiration of the country boy,
who in 1857 first came to London, not very well
equipped with money, but with q wife, Two iittle

their country's history, with an ardor and en-

Shakespeare could inspire. Elizabeth shared in
the general enthusiasm for this golden hearted
poet who after all, remained untouched by praise
and adulation, and exchanged 1t as soon as Dos

sions and the beautiful villas one finds In italy.
London streets still continued narrow, dark and
miry, the houses with their protrliding stories
being 80 near together that neighbors on opposite
sides or the streets might shake hands from the
upper windows. But the fav0rite residence por-
ton, "The Strand" which lay outside the city
walls along the banks of the Thames, was series
OF beautiful villas. The Italian Renaissance had
touched Engands architecture, as well as her life
and letters. The landscape, heretofore beetling
with high walls and heavy turreted exteriors. had
been changed for the spacious villas. with tiled
walks and gardens terraced down to the waters
edge. Pancoast likens these beautiful homes ON
the water front to second Venice, each family
possessing its gondola and waterman AT night
1t was especially Venetian, when these little crafts
shot out into the river from every landing, their
lights making little star pictures In the water and
