| Evidence: | 'Jean's friend lent her George Moore's "Heloise and Abelard" - "one of the loveliest; all that my Wyclif book should have been and was not," Winifred confessed, lamenting that she was required to present prizes just when she wanted to finish it. In spite of the novel's length and these interruptions, its owner reported that Winifred returned it, read from cover to cover, within a couple of days.' |
