In London, James quickly becomes immersed in the social and literary life of the city and of the nation. He is invited as an honorary guest to the Athenaeum Club; dines with Lord Houghton, William Gladstone, Alfred Tennyson, Heinrich Schliemann, and \"half a dozen other men of 'high culture'\"; and continues his friendship with Turgenev, who lives in Paris.
