Arthur Edward J. Legge : Either Mutineers OR Both Great and Small

'I had a good lunch at Calais — how I love the lunch at Calais don't you! — and am now extremely comfy in a sleeping compartment all to myself. The train is not even full. I am enjoying myself madly and am looking forward to a very early breakfast with honey at Basel and a lovely day over the St Gotthard. [...] I am posting Mr Legge's novel to Redcar. Elsa [Gertrude Bell's half-sister] may like to look at it for friendship's sake — though if she were a true friend she wd refuse for it's singularly feeble. It's a pity his writings are not up to his looks!'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Gertrude Bell      Print: Book
