The following appears in the "Life of Lord Lawrence," published by Messrs. Smith, Elder and Co.: — "Lord Lawrence married after his return to England, at the end of a long and tedious illness, and he was warned that it was death to go back to India. His answer was, 'If I cannot live in India, I must go and die there'; and the newly married couple sailed accordingly. The marriage proved a very happy one. Mrs. Lawrence constantly acted as her husband's adviser and amanuensis, she seldom left his side, and her company became almost indispensible to him. A story is told of them, long afterwards, when they had come back to settle finally in England. Lady Lawrence had left the room; and twice in the course of a few minutes her husband asked what had become of her. 'Why, really, John,' said one of his sisters, 'it would seem as if you could not get on for five minutes without your wife.' 'That was what I married her for,' he answered, simply."
