Evidence: | 'Came back by the half past one train [from?] Town, after buying "Sarah Barnham" at [the?] Station. Amused myself by reading her very strange history as related by her biographer or assumed biographer who has certainly taken considerable license as she details the death of her subject though it is well known that "Sarah Barnham" is meant for Sara Bernhardt the great actress & that Sara is still among the illustrious living. The Book is a horribly spiteful one & well illustrates the spite one woman can show against another.' |
