called at your hotel and was so unfortunate as not to find you.... I saw 
more than once the sunny Torrigiani gardens, and the empty house. I saw 
also many friends of yours, who regretted your absence, and spoke of you 
as you would like to be spoken of; and finally I shook hands with you in 
Powers' Studio, which was a kind of welcome and farewell to Florence."
