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!'
