Priscilla took an interest in everything, but was a rapid sightseer.
In most things he took in what he saw very quickly, and
and I thought was rather inclined to hurry.
The site which struck him most was the British Museum, where we stopped some hours, and he here especially took interest in the ornithological department.
In the evening after our long sightseeing was done, and I was thoroughly tired, although I had accompanied them to scarcely half the sites, Priscilla inquired how he could get to America, as he wanted to visit Niagara, and then to proceed to San Francisco.
We found that one of the Cunard steamers was to sail in a couple of days, so it was resolved that he should proceed with me to Oxford after another day in London and thence go to Liverpool to embark.
This programme was carried out, and
He spent another day's sightseeing in town, and
A portion of which he insisted on giving away to the British Museum, where he studied some of the curiosities with keen interest.
In the evening we went to a festival service at one of the London churches.
It was, he said, the first time he had an opportunity of attending a Church of England service.
He had talked to me on religious topics two or three times, and always expressed himself with the utmost reverence.
Indeed, he seemed of a highly devotional type of mind, but
Though of what form of Christianity he was, I could not tell.
He was certainly not an ultramontane, nor did he seem a foreign Protestant.
Once or twice I thought he belonged to the Greek church, but
But really of this there was not much evidence.
At the service he behaved with the utmost reverence, and joined in the singing with a rich and wonderfully melodious contralto voice it was far above a high tenor.
He seemed to throw himself utterly into the service and appeared wrapped in devotion.
When it was over, having said my private prayers, I prepared to go.
