Synopsis
Excerpt from Dante Gabriel Rossetti, His Family-Letters, Vol. 2: With a Memoir
The Bazaar must have been patronized (i take it) by the family of the Earl of Wicklow, in which our aunt, Miss Charlotte Lydia Polidori, was then a governess. A harp could not now be copied off a halfpenny; but Irish halfpence bearing this device were at that time in frequent circulation in London.
Our aunt died in January 1890, at the great age of eighty-seven. She was a person of uncommon equanimity and amenity - none more so within my experience - and was an agreeable talker, though without marked intellectual gift. For unselfish complaisance she might be reckoned a model.
Only one letter from Gabriel earlier than this is in my possession. It is dated 10 January 1836, and is addressed to our Father. It is of course mere childishness. I ought not to thrust it upon the reader, and I shall not.
