Lady Victoria Campbell

262 " ETHICA "
In all the inevitable anxieties of this time,
needless to say, I shall think with special thoughts
of the wild Island. I am delighted with the account
of the closing meeting. You really are in splendid
working business harness. I trust so much that,
in whatever form, work true and living may be
set agoing and prosper for next winter.
April, 1894. Inveraray. From her diary.
Nearly two years since the last entry. Just
after I wrote it, I was at the first Moderator's
breakfast I have ever been at, that of Professor
Charteris. I went to London when Dot arrived.
How glad I am I went at once to welcome her !
In 1893 I was to have visited her at Liberton before
she left for Cannes, and I for Tiree. I stayed for
the home visit to be over ; our married couples
here with eight grandchildren. I went to Edin-
burgh, to Lady Liston Foulis, Dr. Charteris, and
then Dr. Macmillan, who put me on board the
" Dunara," and I left again for Bunessan and Tiree.
In this last place I took lodgings this time. We
got two Guilds formed. Of those months I cannot
venture on details. Influenza seized Knowles,
then me. I can never forget the home-sickness
I had during my convalescence for my father and
the family.
I left early for London, where Aunt Dot spent
three weeks with us.
