28 Such things are discernible in Spinner’s tome, vying though in a biographical clutter which no organizational subtitle can disguise. Fanny, we are told (p. 47), ‘must have provided some consolation for a rather dreary Parliamentary year’. Did Goschen find 1875 dull? Did domesticities compensate? Or is it that Spinner announces a daughter’s birth only he to break embarrassingly long silence in the political record? 29 Elegant variation alone may have lured Smith into speaking of Goschen as ‘the Jew’.As a point of interest, it was Gladstone’s friend, Robert Farquharson, who put into print: ‘His nose betrayed him, he had the flat feet and the hoarse voice of the Israelite’. See Farquharson, In and Out of Parliament: Reminiscences of a Varied Life (London, 1911), p. 260.
