Voltaire : L'Enfant prodige
Harriet Cavendish to her sister, Lady Georgina Cavendish (November 1797): 'You can't imagine, G. how tourty [sic] we are of an afternoon, my aunt reads and tells us storys. The last thing she read us was Voltaire's "enfant prodige," it is beautiful. Only think how good my dear dear aunt was to me last night; I took some pills and she came and read me a very interesting story while I took them.'
