ABSTRACT
Returning from a holiday in Switzerland in the autumn of 1882, Sir John Lubbock seems to have been more comfortable than he had been since Ellen's death spending time at High Elms. The Huxleys, together with John Morley and Michael Foster came for a weekend in October, and Lubbock took Huxley for a walk to Downe, to call on Emma Darwin. Lubbock noted that Morley regretted his earlier support for Gladstone's Irish policy, and that he now seemed ‘… very anti-Gladstonian’. 1
