His hopes were sustained by some, not many, Anglicans; they were heard with sympathy but without encouragement by certain noted Catholic prelates, notably the late Cardinal Mercier. It was the latter who arranged the annual conversations at Malines, Belgium, the seat of his archbishopric, to which every June came many Anglicans to discuss and forward progress toward church unity...

He is often seen edging, a few minutes late, into his box at polo, at the horseshow, at the theatre, at prizefights.
