Lady Victoria Campbell

352 "KEST AND BE THANKFUL"
Do you know, if this invitation had not come,
I had thought of making a raid into your dining-
room again. It cannot be now. I must be off to
Tiree.
I was not up to many meetings, but saw a lot
of interesting people, especially the Bishops,
(Tell Jo) and Lord William Cecil ; it was like a
foretaste of Union in Heaven !
I hope you read Mr. Norman Maclean's articles
in the " Scotsman." With much love, and wishing
I could go with you,
Yours ever affectionately,
V. C.
16 Moray Place. June 28th, 1910.
My dear F.,
Your letter ought to have crossed one from
me, as I intended to try and give a private im-
pression of this really wonderful time. But Mr.
Norman Maclean did yeoman service, and I spent
much time between the open table — luncheons and
teas, and in reading up myself, which was one
compensation for not getting to many meetings.
Except for Synod Hall, which has a long, trying
stair, I got to a specimen of each. The popular ones
in our Assembly Hall, where I heard Bryan give
a sermon of an hour and half (or twenty minutes
after the hour). It was quite a quarter too long,
which I never felt with Liddon, and there were
touches of that American humour, which went down
on a week-night.
