Transcribed from the 1895 William Blackwood and Sons edition by David Price
"Two Suffolk Friends" by Francis Hindes Groome is a collection of biographical essays that appeared originally in 'Blackwood's Magazine' in the late 19th century. The work primarily focuses on the life and experiences of Robert Hindes Groome, a country parson in Suffolk, and includes reflections on his connections with notable figures such as Edward FitzGerald. This exploration into Groome's life and his unique interactions showcases the cultural and social fabric of East Anglia, emphasizing the intimate and personal nature of his stories. At the start of "Two Suffolk Friends," the author introduces readers to the character of Robert Hindes Groome, providing a glimpse into his upbringing and experiences as a clergyman. The narrative details his inspired recollections of life in Suffolk, including anecdotes from his encounters with eccentric locals, his love for the Suffolk dialect, and his reflections on the rural community. It sets the stage for the unfolding narrative that delves deeper into Groome's Suffolk stories, rich with humor and tenderness—mirroring the simplicity of country life and the warmth of human connections.
