"Mary Brown ... wrote in her Memories that "'I asked a Lancashire working woman what she thought of Story of an African Farm and a strange expression came over her face as she said 'I read parts of it over and over.' 'What parts?' I asked, and her reply was 'About yon poor lass (Lyndall) ... I think there is a hundred of women what feels like that but can't speak it, but she could speak what we feel'."
