CHAPTER VH HOME LIFE IN EUROPE (1868-1872) Mr. And Mrs. Norton had been but a short time on English soil when they went by invitation to stay with Dickens at Gad's Hill -- "the identical spot," as Dickens, in a letter to Lady John Russell, says about the house, "where Falstaff ran away." A letter written by Norton to his mother, from Gad's Hill, was devoted largely to his own search for a house, suited to the needs of his family and not too far from London; but it contains also passages of a wider interest.

Excerpt from Letters of Charles Eliot Norton, Vol. 1 of 2: With Biographical Comment by His Daughter Soon after Lowell's death Charles Eliot Norton wrote to Leslie Stephen: I mean to publish, by and by, a selection of his letters, strung on a brief thread of Memoir; and later he added, I do not propose to make a formal biography.
