| Evidence: | 'The night before we left [Montpellier]was one of the worst I have ever spent. Joseph Conrad was still handicapped by having his right hand in bandages, the gout had twisted his wrist and left it very weak and painful [...]. I was glad when my husband left me to finish the packing and retired to another room to read. But I was busy all night.' |
