Evidence: | Finished the second volume of Mrs Radcliffe's 'Italian'. She is the best writer in her way of anybody I [have?] heard of. There is one scene in this volume which cannot be easily equalled. I mean the scene [...] in the passage when they are going to murder Helena the heroine of the story. |
