3 October 1864 – 9 October 1864

Crossed to Yarmouth in the steamer. Mrs. Cameron on board and Anthony TroUope and wife. I sat next Anthony outside the coach to Fresh- water ; he asked a great many practical questions about the houses and lands which we drove past — did not seem interested about Tennyson. Told me he had been in every parish in Ireland. He put up at Lambert's Hotel. I to Tennyson's, where a friendly reception. Macmillan here, also Mr. and Mrs. Pollock, the latter literary in her talk. Macmillan read aloud ' Boadicea,' Tennyson at one point interjected, ' What a fine line ! ' (I forget what line it was). He also said, ' " Maud " is wonderful ! '
