You like the thought!! Small wonder if you do, for in this drawing-room, which the human traffic of London passes without a salute, Byron's journals were burn- ed, so ending, in kindly smoke, a document of a romance and an adventure, and a glowing prose that the world would have lingered on to-day, not, perhaps, always to the exaltation of Byron's name: You can, in imagination, almost hear its notes of poetry, singing up the chimney, now cool, with its white") marble fireplace, to a blaze that was both historic and generous. It is, a long, room and high in the ceiling, as the old London way was, but you hardly notice a detail like this because it is so full of Byron treasures. which arrest.. the eye and capture the mind., The Murray drawing room is also notable because Byron and Scott here first met on a date of April.

They came together under the wing of their mutual friend, John Murray I, who has sometimes been called Byron's Murray. You may, in his journals, find the record
"On this day I introduced Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott, and they remained fornearly two hours talking to each other." There is even a tradition that they limped downstairs arm in arm, supporting each other, and that is likely enough, for they were both cripple men. A story goes, and it may not deserve to go far, that, in a recent year, an American walked. into the Murray publishing office, next door to the house, gazed raptly at a twisty iron stair which, for! trade uses, connects its floors, re- marked "So that is the stafri" and was gone before anybody! could say him nay.
