[Florence—Saturday, 4 February 1860]
Saturday. 4th Passed the evening with Miss Blagden at the Casa Guidi. Talked somewhat about Spiritualism and a good deal of the Brownings whose essences seem to be about one in that ghostly room. We had mistaken our night and left early with a promise to return Sunday evening.
Such a clock as there is shut up in that old book-case. A very spirit-clock bringing an odor of other spheres in its faint tones.
