Their paths crossed again after Merrick was rescued at London's

Liverpool Street Station. Doctor Treves arranged for Merrick to be given
permanent quarters in the hospital. Merrick and Dr Treves friendship
became close during his stay in the hospital. Not only that, many wealthy
beautiful ladies and upper class gentlemen of London society sympathized
and visited him. Alexandra, Princess of Wales who later became the Queen
Of England took a special interest in Merrick.She gave him a signed
photograph of herself which Merrick held dearly, and she also sent him a
Christmas card every year.

Merrick spent most of his time reading, writing and composing beautiful
poems. He also spent some time at the countryside - spent days walking in
the woods and collecting wild flowers.

Chapter 4

Merrick was given two rooms at the back of the hospital. One was a bathroom
and the other had a bed, table and chairs.Merrick was able to bath every day. This
improved his skin condition and he didn't smell horrible anymore. Dr Treves
visited him every day and kept him company.Merrick loved to read and talk about
books.He loved to read books of love stories.Sometimes people (nurses) laugh or
scream at him. Although, it saddens him but he has come to accept it.Merrick
wanted to live in a lighthouse or in a home for blind people,so, that people would
not laugh or scream at him.But, after Dr Treves explained that the hospital was
his home now, Merrick was happy.
