| Evidence: | 6 December 1886:
'I have just come in from Regent's Park, where, notwithstanding a bitter wind, I went and read
my [Divine] service. Sunday is always such a sad day with me. I cannot bear to go to church
with anyone, and when I am alone I find myself brooding over the past, and the happy days
when we went together, and he always held my hand in his dear hand during the lessons and
the sermon.' |

| Lady Charlotte was still grieving the loss of her husband Charles Schreiber, who had died on 29 March 1884. Source ed. explains: 'She had given up the habit of going to church in London on Sunday mornings on account of the memories it recalled to her, and, unless it was very cold, she took her prayer book to Regent's Park and read the service to herself there' (see p. 194). |
