Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'there is unlimited room for reading between these well-known and monotonous banks. The Prince set his mind on my reading "East Lynne", which I did at three sittings. Yesterday I stood a tolerable examination in it. A brisk cross-examination took place between H.R.H., A.P.S, Meade and Keppel. I came off with flying colours, and put a question which no one could answer: "with whom did Lady Isabel dine on the fatal night?"'
