Bell was a Francophile and encouraged his son Julian to spend a season in Paris before going to Cambridge. Virginia Woolf described Julian: 'He had a strong element of the Bell in him…he was practical and caustic and shrewd… He had much higher sprits. But then he had warmth, an impetuosity that the Stephens don't have.'
