And afterwards, towards the end of the lifetime, from the late Mr. William Blackwood in his magazine. For the rest I have to say that during his sojourn in England he had the misfortune to be, as the French say, mal entour. He was beset by people who understood not the quality of his genius and were antagonistic to the deeper fineness of the nature.

A number of them have died since, but dead or alive they are not worth speaking about now. I don't think that he had any illusions about them himself; yet there was a strain of good-nature and possibly of weakness in his character which prevented him by shaking himself free from their worthless and patronising attentions, which in these days caused me much secret irritation whenever I remained with him in either of his English homes.

My wife and I like best to remember him riding to meet us at the gate of the Park at Brede. Born master of the true impressions that he was also a born horseman. He never appeared so happy or so much to advantage as on the back of a horse. He had formed the project of teaching that my eldest son to ride and meantime, when the kid was about two years old, presented him with his first dog. Stephen Crane was seen by me after his first arrival in London. I watched him for the time on his last day in England.

It was in Dover, in a huge hotel, in a bedroom with a huge window looking on to the sea. He had been quite sick and Mrs. Crane was carrying him to some location in Germany, but one glimpse at that wasted face was enough to tell me that it was the most forlorn of all hopes. The last words he breathed out to me were: "I am tired. Give my love to your wife and kid." When I stopped at the door for another look I saw that he had turned his head on the pillow and was staring straight from the window at the back of a cutter yacht which glided slowly through the frame, such as a dim shadow from a grey sky.
