Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I'm afraid you would give me up if you knew how I am longing for the second series of "Mrs Delany". The first was an enormous treat, - perhaps the greatest in the book way for these seven years: and I reckon on the rest accordingly. I don't mean Ly Llanover's preachings and prosings, which are as bad as can be: but one can miss them'.
