His ordinary hours for meals were 8.30 A. M. for breakfast and 5.30 P. M. for dinner, and he took food only at these meals. At first he had a housekeeper: but this arrangement not working satisfactorily, he carried on the house afterwards only with servants, aided in daily needs as well as emergencies by Mr. Wormley. He seldom dined alone, and was in the habit of bringing from the Capitol one or two friends to take pot-luck with him,—as Ben Perley
