Refers to the rareness of HS' personality and character, and to the 'delicious remark' the latter made about biographies. Also refers to 'that remark George Elliot made about him', which always seemed to Edmund and him [Grove] 'so extraordinarily to express him as he was'. States that it pains him to think of all NS suffered during HS' illness, and to know that he [Grove] knew nothing of her suffering at the time.
