Mrs. Moulton crossed the Atlantic first in 1876, and, with three exceptions, every sum mer afterwards till the last two of her life. She was a good sailor; but she always felt the vast mystery and awesomeness Of the sea. In London, after that early voyage, she saw the Queen Open Parliament for the first time since the Prince Consort's death. In Rome, where she had letters to the Howitts, she abandoned herself to the delights Of studios, galleries, gardens, and palaces; and in Venice to all the indescribable spell that haunts the waters there.
