| Evidence: | Elizabeth Missing Sewell on her childhood reading in her family home:
'To be alone was never unpleasant to me. In the nursery my great pleasure was to sit by myself in a dark closet, opening into a room, with a little lanthorn by my side, and read a story, while my sisters played about. I enjoyed hearing them, but I did not wish to join them.'
