[313] Mrs. Kemble was at Leamington.

[322] Nearly two years before, 21st March 1880, Fitzgerald wrote to Professor Cowell: ‘My dear Donne (who also was one object of my going) seemed to me feebler in Body and Mind than when I saw him in October: I need not say, the same Gentleman. Mrs. Kemble says that he, more than any one she has known, is the man to do what Boccaccio’s Hero of the Falcon did.’ This was said, Mrs. Kemble informs me, by her sister Mrs. Sartoris.
[323] Keene recommended FitzGerald to read Roger North’s Memoir of Music. ‘You will see in North,’ he says, ‘that Old Rowley was a bit of a musician and sang “a plump Bass.” Can’t you hear him?’ His question to me was about the meaning of the word ‘fastously,’ which is not a musical term, but described the conduct of an Italian violinist, Nicolai Matteis, who gave himself airs, ‘and behaved fastously’ or haughtily. Barrow uses both ‘fastuous’ and ‘fastuously.’
