Romilly’s father was a jeweller. He was of a refugee family – no better than a
Huguenot. There was a preacher of the name, I think. He had a
brother and a sister. The sister is the mother of Dr Roget. The brother
failed in business. When I first knew Romilly he was in
Gray’s Inn. I remember calling on him & seeing there another
man’s puss which excited my concupiscence. I was very amorous
of the puss, for the puss was singularly virtuous and interesting
to me as a two-legged creature – Our love for pusses –our
mutual respect for animals – was a bond of union. For pusses
and mouses we had both of us great kindness. George
Wilson had a disorder which kept him two months to
his couch. The mouses used to run up his back and
eat the powder & pomatum from his hair. They used
also to run up my knees when I went to see him.
I remember they did so to Lord Glenbervie who thought
it odd.
