| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, late March 1839:
'Beloved Papa & Sette were obliged to go away two days ago [...] Sette's gossipings & secret-
tellings were such delightful [italics]old newnesses[end italics]. I used to think in quite the old
times when he read Caesar to me -- his eyes [...] holding communion with Punch [apparently
a pet] out of the window, -- that I was unfortunate to have no more power in the way of
enforcing discipline. It is better as it is -- It is better to be loved than feared'. |
