unknown : Life of Napoleon
Henrietta Moulton-Barrett, to Elizabeth Barrett, c.4 October 1830: 'For the last three hours [Arabella, reader's sister] has done nothing but talk in the most nonsensical manner & laughing loud enough for anyone to hear her all over the house -- All this time I have been as studious as usual reading Napoleon's life but Alas! I found other obstacles there for when Arabel was quiet for an instant my eyes would close & in spite of the noise I have had two or three dreams in the last half hour'.
