Many of the pleasantest days in Rome that winter were passed under her roof and at her table. Here was to be seen, from day to day, everybody of interest either among the residents in Rome or the chance visitors to that city. Her dramatic talent and her courage made her a power in the social circle. Miss Cushman was a keen observer and appreciator of that disinterested power of doing for others, which was one of the distinguishing characteristics of her friend's disposition. It is amusing to see how full her letters are of suggestions for forwarding her own plans or those of others in whom she was interested.<br />[page break]<br />"<a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/170">A thousand thanks about the something for me to read next season.

I want to be taken up bodily and made to do whatever is right, and good, and pleasant. . . . We unite in declaring you are the most wonderful fellow for finding out just what will suit the friends you love and honor with your gifts. I sit down with double-barreled determination to write and say I am keeping well, seeming to contradict the 'malignancy' of disease which my surgeon feared for me. . . . Tell me one thing. Do the lines in the 4 Adonais ' of Shelley, beginning at stanza 31, ' Midst others of less note,' etc., refer to Byron? or to whom ? Please tell me. ... <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/198">I know you are very busy, and I would not trouble you, but we cannot get to any <em>action</em> save through your <em>personal</em> pressure. ...
