| Evidence: | John Forster to Sarianna Browning, 21 September 1846:
'You cannot imagine the surprise with which I saw this morning's announcement [of Robert
Browning, Sarianna's brother's, marriage to Elizabeth Barrett]. Not unmixed with a little pang, ..
that I should have known it first through the strangeness of a newspaper'. |
