house. A peculiarity of its structure as remodelled
by them was, that there was an entire suite of rooms,-
a large library overlooking the river Avon, bedroom, bath-
room and servant's room,-all capable of being shut off from
the rest of the house, by double doors, so that the occupant
might be quite undisturbed. When everything was finished,
and splendidly furnished, the Goodeves wrote to Mr. Hurry:
"It is time for you to give up your paper and come home.
You acted a father's part to us when we went out first to India.
Now come to us, and live as with your son and daughter."

Mr. Hurry accepted the invitation and found waiting for him and his Indian servant the beautiful suite of rooms built for him, and the tenderest welcome. I saw him often seated by their fire-side just as a father might have been. When the time came for him to die, Mrs. Goodeve nursed him with such devoted care, and strained herself so much in lifting and helping him, that her own health was irretrievably injured, and she died not long afterwards.

I could write more of Bristol and Clifton friends, high and low, but must draw this chapter of my life to a close. I went to Bristol an utter stranger, knowing no human being there. I left it after a few years all peopled, as it seemed to me, with kind souls; and without one single remembrance of anything else but kindness received there either from gentle or simple. 1370
