Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Writing an addendum entitled "The Interruptions" to the copious journal which she kept in the early 1830s, Emily Shore gave a wry picture of the difficulties attendant on reading Sir Joshua Reynolds' "Discourses" together with her mother one morning. First they were interrupted by the housemaid ... then by a man servant ... then by the cook ... by the nursemaid ... by a maid ... by Emily's younger brother ... by the man servant announcing a visitor.'
