Jabez Bunting Dimbleby :
E. M. Forster to Alice Clara Forster, ?summer 1899: 'I hear much of Mr Dimbleby, and have tried to read his books. I can't think how Maimie [i.e. Mary Aylward, family friend] is taken in. Scattered scraps of information such as "in 1903 there will be a second Flood: 'one of the continents' (!) will sink below the sea. In 1910 the world will probably be consumed in the tail of a comet, &tc." '"Dear me," says Maimie, "to think that we shall probably be alive to see it."'
