14 June 1854 [following account of morning spent sitting for portrait to Watts, and attending two business meetings]: 'I got a hasty luncheon and started alone for my train to go to Harrow. Arrived there at 5, and made my way to Mr. Rendall's house, where I waited till past 6 in his drawing room for Augustus [one of Lady Charlotte's sons, a pupil at Harrow] to come out from school. I employed myself looking at H. Coleridge's biography which is a melancholy one'.
