"7. A week of February already gone! I have been obliged to be very moderate in work, from feebleness of head and body; but I have re-written with additions the first chapter of my book. I have done little reading in the last week. At present I am running along with Pulci, and have got interested in the paladins, but I find him less full of point and idiom than I expected after the first Canto or two. The other day Mr. G. Smith called and offered me 250 guineas for my story of the Idiot Brother, which George mentioned as lying by me. I am not quite certain yet whether I shall accept. Today we have been to the London Library and I have read J. Mill's article on "The American Contest". Mrs. Hooper called and brought me her little book." Diary 1861-1877 109
