    On 9 March 1894 Henry and Enid Layard celebrated twenty-five years of marriage with a dinner dance at Ca Cappello. "When I married," he wrote, "I could not have believed that I should reach my silver wedding. Well, I have been very fortunate, and I can say, what few men can say, that my wife and I have never been separated by one single day and that we have never had a quarrel." Less than four months later he was dead. On 3 April his doctor tentatively diagnosed a malignant tumor in the groin and advised his immediate return to England for a specialist opinion. His fears were confirmed, and it soon became clear that the patient was not going to recover. He died, in their London house at no. 1 Queen Anne Street, on 5 Jul and was buried four days later in teh cemetery at Woking. He was seventy-seven.
