Notes and topics
"Wed." "12 noon" Rightness of their marriage.
"... whatever my faults, I am not sensual, and I believe the temptation would not be greater to me, but rather less, than to most men." Has had more practice with self-control than most young people. Religion. Ward. God infinitely wicked. Couldn't see her for years if she decided not to marry. Has always been superstitious "and the form it takes is always believing that what I dread will happen." 15-mile walk plus concert in order to get to sleep. Reading Browning. Will send her his scraps of a journal—ashamed of it on whole. Grandmother. Read Lady Henry [Somerset's] paper.
