. . . Amongst my schoolfellows at Cheam I have a wholesome recollection of the stern discipline exercised by the present Commander of the Forces in Ireland, his Excellency Sir Thomas Steele, who was coachman of the team I was leader in alongside a very skittish, and at times vicious, thoroughbred colt, the present Sir Victor Houlton, Secretary to Government at Malta. We were lashed without mercy.
My particular friends were the two Eliots, the late Lord Eliot and Granville Eliot --- the former one of the handsomest young fellows I ever saw. The latter became a gallant Guardsman, and was killed in the Crimean war. Years after, when staying at St Germans, Lord St Germans showed me his uniform, medals, &c., carefully preserved in a cabinet, and listened with deep interest to all I could tell him of our school-days.
