“ This evening papers brought the sad news, that our beloved
and admired Charles Dickens passed awaV on the evening of
J une 9th. I had indeed hoped to see him once again in this World,
his last kiss and embrace I received when we parted in Maidstone [see
letter above], after my visit to him he drove me to the station
himself, was full of life and spirits, affectionate and kind. How
uncertain is the parting for us all ! ” Efc.

to Dickens in his letters.
“Dickens’s very natural hesitation to foregather indiscriminately
with all the Danes whom Andersen was in the habit of sending
from time to time with letters of introduction, seems at last to
have somewhat offended Andersen ; anyhow during the last fifteen
years of his life [1860-1875] we meet with no mention whatever of
Dickens in his correspondence.”—Bain’s “ Andersen,” 1895.
