300 PRINCE OTTO
* visited the Baronne de Gondremark — much
gratified — a most refined, intelligent woman, quite
of the old school, now Mlas ! extinct — had read
my Remarks on Sicily — it reminds her of my
uncle, but with more of grace — I feared she
thought there was less energy — assured no — a
softer style of presentation, more of the literary
grace, but the same firm grasp of circumstance
and force of thought — in short, just Buttonhole's
opinion. Much encouraged. I have a real es-
teem for this patrician lady.' The acquaintance
lasted some time ; and when Mr. Cotterill left in
the suite of Lord Protocol, and, as he is careful
to inform us, in Admiral Yardarm's flag-ship,
one of his chief causes of regret is to leave
* that most spirituelle and sympathetic lady, who
already regards me as a younger brother.*
