Charlotte Anley : Miriam; Or, the Power of Truth

Elizabeth Barrett to Henrietta Moulton-Barrett, from Eastnor Castle, 23-24 February 1827: 'As we were going down the stairs yesterday Lady M. said to me -- "I am reading a little book now called "Miriam"-- if you should happen to meet with it you will find in its early part, one page which puts me strongly in mind of you -- of your character -- but you shall not see it [italics]here[end italics]." I did not know what to say, but felt very uncomfortable & looked very foolish -- promising myself to lay hold of "Miriam" & of Lady Margaret's opinion respecting me, at the first opportunity.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Lady Margaret Maria Cocks      Print: Book
