I am one of the exceptions); that he was very fond of his home and children, however, - which I still doubt, considering his heartless treatment of that child in the railway carriage; that he wore three clean shirts a week, but never changed his stockings oftener than once a fortnight; that he was a poet; that Queen Victoria had made him England's laureate; that he did not like to shave himself; that, however late...
