Mrs Henry Wood : East Lynne
'Annie Swan [from Leith] ... vividly recalled the occasion when her mother "surprised us all by retiring to her room for a whole day, abandoning everything. The mystery was explained by a copy of East Lynne, which had been brought surreptitiously into the [strictly Evangelical] house, and in which she became so engrossed that she ceased to care a han, as we expressed it, for anything or anybody".'
