19 February 1854: 'After breakfast I walked with my boys [i.e. two of her sons] to Trinity College [Cambridge]. They took me through the Great Court [...] and thence into Neville's Court, where it was proposed to beat up Mr. [Charles] Schreiber's quarters, which were 3rd door from West corner on North side of court [...] there we found him, his toilet being only just completed [...] The boys went out to order dinner [...] The oak was forthwith sported to keep out strangers, and I was at peace. Mr. Schreiber meanwhile went on with his breakfast; I sat on the sofa behind him, with Longfellow, my own Longfellow, that I found on the shelves, in my hand.'
