And if 74 this sight was charming there was amuse- ment also to be found in the announce- ment we heard him make in perfect good fiiith soon after the turf had been laid down, that he had at last induced his wife to sacrifice her kitchen garden, and carry out his long projected plan of constructing a lawn in its place. " Tennyson's presence, as I have already indicated, was the attraction which brought the Camerons to Freshwater; as well it might, for to all who knew him the charm of the Laurea...te's personality was irresistible. One of the Cameron boys (now holding high office in an Eastern Colony) recited one day to the poet the lines of his father's which I have quoted. 'Does he mean me by the Nightingale ? ' asked the bard in his deep tones ; ' that's very good of him. ' It was not lightly that Tennyson valued Mr Cameron's criticism and praise, for he would bring his new poems and plays down to 'Dimbola Lodge' before they were published, and read them aloud, sitting on the end of the bed (for my fether, being rather an invalid, got up late), 75 whilst JNIrs Cameron listened from her own arm-chair, and the boys were seated in reverential silence on the floor.
