| Evidence: | [?Sarah] Fielding to Samuel Richardson, 6 July 1754:
'Here are a set of young women endued with the most exemplary patience I ever met with; for Miss L---- and Miss B---- agree'd to read Sir Charles Grandison together, and really waited from time to time till they could meet, each honourably performing their covenant, and not so much as taking one unlawful peep in the absence of the other.' |
