J. C. Grove well remembers how in the course of the war his father used to run out in the morning to buy the Daily News and read Fyffe's letters. Grove sustained a severe loss on August 2oth in the sudden death of his old friend Bowley, the general manager of the Crystal Palace, with whom he had worked on terms of great cordiality from the outset, and of whom he never spoke afterwards save in terms of the heartiest goodwill. Bowley appealed to Grove in a variety of ways ; as one interested in "...music ; as a genial colleague ; and lastly as the unconscious perpetrator of sundry Malapropisms and " bulls " which Grove never tired of relating a special favourite being the translation of secundum artem as "second rate. " In October he spent a couple of days at Margate, a place associated with an anecdote which he was very fond of telling, and recorded in 1897 : " Dr. Price, an old Margate man, used to say that he had heard the old incumbent of Margate Church preaching on the future delights of the blessed in heaven, and on the certainty that every one would have what he could best appreciate, winding up with the words : * And for those who prefer light refreshment, there will be light refreshment.
