Do  lay  them  down  to  me,  and  I  will  acquaint  my  uncles  of  them.  Nay,
write  to  one  of  them  yourself  !  Or,  will  you  come  down  and  stay  a  little
while  with  them,  and  talk  over  schemes  and  projects  to  restore  your
happiness  in  England?  I  do  hope  sincerely  you  will  take  time  to  try  if
you  do  not  find  it  sufferaoh  to  stay.  Give  it  up  till  you  are  of  age  merely,
and  then  determine!  What  can  you  do  in  Italy?  /  quite  depend  upon
your  making  me  your  confidante,  and  that  I  shall  hear  from  you  imme-
diately.    I  will  attend  at  all  times  to  anything  that  will  serve  you."

There  is  something  extremely  touching  in  all  this  pretty,  persistent,
feminine  earnestness  for  the  youth  so  wayward  and  self-willed,  who
had  yet  the  qualities  to  inspire  such  sisterly  attachment  and  interest
as  are  manifest  in  every  line  she  writes.  Nothing  more  of  the  cor-
respondence is  preserved  ;  but  immediately  after  the  last  letter
reached  Landor,  he  quitted  London  for  Tenby  in  South  Wales,  and
his  having  accepted  the  proposed  mediation  is  to  be  inferred  from
the  fact  that  it  shortly  afterwards  took  place,  and  the  arrangement
ultimately  made  for  his  living  away  from  Warwick  was  founded
upon  it.
