July 8 and 9 Wednesday – Sam and Livy visited Charles E. Flower (1830-1892) , mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon. Sam and Moncure Conway played a trick on Livy, a great fan of Shakespeare, telling her they were going to “Epworth” instead of Stratford. At the station they had the carriage go directly to the church and upon entering Shakespeare’s grave, Livy read the inscription “Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare.” Livy exclaimed, “Heavens, where am I!” [MTL 5: 404n2; MTNJ 1: 561-2n55].
