Chapter XX the happy haven
on Saturday, July 12, 1890, I was married to Stanley, at Westminster Abbey.
He was very ill at the time, with gastritis and malaria, but his powerful will enabled him to go through with the ceremony.

In his Journal, November 1, 1898, he writes:--
To live at all, I must have open air, and to enjoy the open air, I must move briskly.
I but wait to have a little more strength, when I can begin the search for a suitable house, with some land attached.
It has long been my wish, and the mere thought of having come to a decision, that it is imperative to possess such a thing, before it is too late, tends towards the improvement of my health.
Whatever Stanley undertook was thoroughly done.
He collected lists of most of the House and Estate-agents, cut out the advert
