We hear of Bede and David Hume and Sterne on their deathbeds, Milton's body being disinterred and his bones pil laged by curio-hunters, and Shelley's body being cremated on the beach near Viar eggio, John Stubbs (author of a pamphlet that had angered Queen Elizabeth) conde mned to have his right hand cut off and lifting his hat with his left hand cryin g 'God save the Queen!', Sir Walter Scott secreting in his coat-tails the glass out of which George IV had just drunk a toast, and then sitting down and breakin g it, Ronald Firbank entertained to a luxurious tea at Oxford by Siegfried Sasso on, and nibbling a single grape.
