I. Carlyle's laugh
None of the many sketches of Carlyle that have been published since his deaCarlyle that have been published since his death have brought out quite distinctly enough the thing which struck me more forcibly than all else, n Paris, of that author's smile.
To be sure, Carlyle's laugh was not like that smile, but it was s t interview with him, that all I had known of Carlyle through others, or through his own books, for irst time, in 1872, I was offered a letter to Carlyle, and declined it. Like all of my own generati me with him for one of his afternoon calls on Carlyle, and further proposed that I should join them gant passing carriage on an odder figure than Carlyle.
Tall, very thin, and slightly stooping; wit er, I went with my friend Conway to call on Mr. Carlyle once more, and found the kindly laugh stil ethe; and we know that Richter was defined by Carlyle, in his very first literary essay, as a humor s last phrase, a satirical improvisatore, seems to me better than any other to describe Carlyle.
