| Evidence: | "Kitty dispatched the little ones to the schoolroom to do their lessons. Then John, Rachel and Kitty seated themselves in the shade while John took a book from his pocket and read 'Perigrinus Porteous' to them... Towards evening the entire party walked to the village church where, by twilight, John Pitchford read Gray's 'Elegy' with great effect." |
