Du Maurier, George, 1834-1896

"Peter Ibbetson"

I heard much about him
and his latter days. All those whose duties brought them into contact
with him seemed to have regarded him with a respect that bordered on
veneration.
I had the melancholy satisfaction of seeing him in his coffin. I had
not seen him since he was twelve years old.
As he lay there, in his still length and breadth, he appeared
gigantic--the most magnificent human being I ever beheld; and the
splendor of his dead face will haunt my memory till I die.
MADGE PLUNKET.
