Ruskin and Windus
Mr. Godfrey Windus was a retired coachmaker, living in a cheerful little
villa, with low rooms on the ground floor opening pleasantly into each other,
like a sort of grouped conservatory, between his front and back gardens:their
walls beset, but not crowded, with Turner drawings of the England series;
while in his portfolio-stands, coming there straight from the publishers
of the books they illustrated, were the entire series of the illustrations
to Scott, to Byron, to the South Coast, and to Finden's Bible ( Works,
35.253).
