J. C. Parkinson, who had just returned from the historic trip of the Great Eastern, when the great Atlantic cable had snapped in mid- ocean, Horace May hew, the Sotherns, W. O'Neil, and the Yateses. Mr. Parkinson tells me that, notwith- standing his absence from London, Shirley always wore a top hat and a frock coat and could hardly be induced to take any exercise. He preferred to spend his time indoors and '' to surround himself with what appeared to be every newspaper published, which he skim...med with rapidity and never seemed to tire of. '' One amusement which he really enjoyed was the " circus, '' which the party much affected and at which '' command " performances were given for their amuse- ment. Amongst their acquaintances was a certain sprig of nobility, of late years holding high office in the House of Commons, whose roving eye fell upon the circus-proprietor's pretty daughter. One night the noble father of the young aristocrat and the circus- proprietor turned up in great perturbation at the Friths' lodgings.
