| Evidence: | Arabella Moulton-Barrett to Samuel Moulton-Barrett, 15 August 1839:
'Georgie [brother] is at Torquay, & he wrote out and sent to me the other day, Ba's ballad,
unknown to her -- & by doing so, Papa says he has committed a breach of morality & he
refuses to read it. I, not being quite so strict, have read it & am quite overflowing with
gratitude to George for being so very IMMORAL -- It is most beautiful [...] but SO horrible [...]
my hair felt inclined to turn [italics]upward[end italics] as I read it!' |
