Glad to See Arnold.

Matthew Arnold was sitting in his study one morning when the butler showed in an American lady and a small boy. The lady said, —‘Glad to make your acquaintance, Mr. Arnold, I have often heard ,of you. No, don’t trouble to speak, sir! I know how valuable your time is!’ Then turning to the boy she said, —’This is him, Lenny, the leading critic and poet. Bomewhit fleshier than we had been led to expect.’ "—A. C. Benson, in the Atlantis.
