Note Footnote 5: — Chapter XXVI
Reading edition
His Holiness, whose manner towards me was most kind and benevolent, said: "You are appointed to succeed a very good man,5 for whom I felt great affection, and I regret that he has left Rome. You may be as good as he was, and we shall become friends, but I do not know you yet, and Mr Lyons I had known for many years; he is going to America, I hear, and he will find the Americans far more difficult to deal with than with us.
