| Evidence: | 'Still in bed. Have finished the love letters and left my pair on the brink of marriage... [She] is as lively and hare-brained a rattle as anyone could wish... She nearly killed herself by going out hatless in an east wind so as not to upset the dressing of her hair; another time she fell off a wall "trying to hide her ankles" from Dr Fyffe. Yet another time in her zeal for study she sewed the bodices to the skirts of her frocks so that she could dress in ten minutes.' |
