Excerpt from Lady Duff Gordon´s Letters From Egypt Two years later Mr. Austin was appointed Royal Com missioner to inquire into the grievances of the Maltese. His wife accompanied him, but so hot a climate was not considered good for a young girl, and Lucie was sent to a school at Bromley. She must have been as great a novelty to the school as the school-life was to her, for with a great deal of desultory knowledge she was singularly deficient in many rudiments of ordinary knowledge.

She must have been as great a novelty to the school as the school-life was to her, for with a great deal of desultory knowledge she was singularly deficient in many rudiments of ordinary knowledge. She wrote well already at fifteen, and corresponded often with Mrs. Grote and other friends of her parents.´ At sixteen she determined to.be baptized and confirmed as a member of the Church of England (her parents and relations were Unitarians). Lord Monteagle was her sponsor and it was chie¿y owing, I believe, to the in¿uence of himself and his family, with whom she was very intimate in spite of her Radical ideas, that she took this step.

Excerpt from Letters From the Cape The daughter of John and Sarah Austin ran every risk of growing up a blue-stocking. Yet she escaped every danger of the kind - the proximity of Bentham, her childish friendships with Henry Reeve and the Mills, and the formidable presence of the learned friends of both her parents - by the force of a triumphant naturalness and humour which remained with her to the end of her life. Although her schooling was in Germany and her sympathy with German character was remarkable, her own person ality was rather French in its grace and gaiety. It was characteristic of her, then, to defend as she did la vieille gaieté francaise against Heine on his death-bed. But the truth is that her sympathies were nearly perfect. She\was one of those rare characters that see the best in every nationality without aping cosmopolitanism, simply because they are content everywhere to be human. Con vention and prejudice vex them as little as pedantry can. Their clear eyes look out each morning on a fresh world, and their experiences are a perpetual school of sympathy and never the sad routine of disillusionment.
