Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Another pilgrimage Mrs Cragie made was to see George Meredith at his house on Box Hill. To visit Meredith was a great privilege and I waited eagerly for her description of the hour she spent with him. I was disappointed when she was able to tell me very little about the conversation. I had read all his novels and devoured the poems with great enthusiasm'
