Evidence: | [From Ellen Nussey's account of her first visit to the home of her schoolfriend, Charlotte Bronte:]
'In summer [Elizabeth Branwell] spent part of the afternoon in reading aloud to Mr Bronte. In the winter evenings she must have enjoyed this; for she and Mr Bronte had often to finish their discussions on what she had read when we all met for tea.' |
