Rachel Hunter : Lady Maclairn, the Victim of Villainy
In a joking letter to her niece, Anna Austen, Jane Austen writes, 'Miss Jane Austen begs her best thanks may be conveyed to Mrs Hunter of Norwich [...] Miss Jane Austen's tears have flowed over each sweet sketch in such a way as would do Mrs Hunter's heart good to see; if Mrs Hunter could understand all Miss Jane Austen's interest in the subject she would certainly have the kindness to publish at least 4 vols more about the Flint family...'

Rachel Field : All this and Heaven Too
'Oh, I like all kinds of books - historical, semi-biography, well written. I liked "How Green was My Valley": and "All this and Heaven Too" ....I must say I can't read novels when I'm all upset. Now what have I read lately? Oh, I loved "Portrait of a Village", Brett Young: it was enchanting - "Royal Escape", "Spanish Bride", Georgette Heyer; Frankau's "Royal Regiment', oh and "Elizabeth of Bohemia". I loved that.'

Rachel : [letters from Glasser's aunt]
'I read the letters [from Aunt Rachel] again and again as I strode furiously across the Parks, and the wind threw tears cold against my face. Often, reading her carefully rounded copperplate English - learnt at night school long ago - I heard again the words she had uttered through tears when I first told her of the scholarship: "If only your mother could have been spared to see you turn out like this..."'

Rachel : [letter]
'Towards the end of the war I would receive a letter in her tiny, rounded hand, one of those wartime "pre-mission" letters, intended for onward transmission only if the writer did not return. Two sentences in particular would burn into my mind, and whenever I thought of them I would hear her voice in my head: "You suffer because you are the man you are. I did not always know how to give you the understanding you need."'
