Evidence:
'Lady Byron was to [George] MacDonald the protectress, the adviser, and once at least the extremely rigorous critic. 'It was through the reading of his narrative poem, Within and Without (published in 1855, but written a few years earlier), that their acquaintance began. She wrote to him of her admiration, and soon afterwards they met.'
