Excerpt from The Life and Letters of James Martineau, Vol. 2 of 2 In his home the first faint shadows Of approaching trouble already began to be perceptible. Mrs. Martineau had felt acutely the separation from her Old Liverpool friends, and it was remarked that her warm-hearted and sympathetic nature experienced some depression in pass ing into the new world of London. Her husband's work and responsibility were now necessarily increased, and she wrote to a friend, on June 16 1869, as though in presenti ment of a coming illness: Our life becomes more and more complicated and intense, till I feel the thread must snap or tangle soon. My husband's wonderful calm and arrangement and grasp and power Of work carry him through all, while I quiver and gasp, and suffer the more the less I really do. About this time he became acquainted with the Tenny sons, who had been reading the Endeavours after the Christian Life Mrs. Tennyson wrote in her Journal on November 1: Dr. Martineau came. He struck us as having a subtle and wonderful mind he is mournful and tender-looking, a noble gentleman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
