Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Harriet, Countess Granville, to her sister, Lady Carlisle, 4 June 1835: 'I am with the window open, the orange flower smelling too strong, the nightingales singing too loud, and this in the middle of a city is very delicious. There is a beautiful passage in Mrs. Norton's book about that, the gifts so impartially granted to all and what ought to be our gratitude. How excellent, how beautiful I think some of her writing; but somehow or other [...] she is not in keeping with her own opinions and feelings, and it is impossible to bind her up with her own stories.'
