"The habits and tastes of Mr Opie were, happily, very inexpensive... [he and his wife] spent the evening hours in converse ... reading with her books of amusement or instruction... Mr Opie entertained a partiality for works of fiction and not unfrequently indulged himself in reading a novel, even if it were not of the first class."
