Evidence: | "Mary Stocks (b. 1891) recorded how her Aunt Tiddy made great efforts to preserve her and her siblings from 'indelicacy' [quotes from Stocks's account of how one of the poems read aloud by aunt included Tennyson, 'The Revenge', in her text of which the aunt covered the word 'womb' with a strip of paper]: 'My family still cherishes the tattered volume of Tennyson showing the marks from which the strip was surreptitiously removed by us to satify a curiosity very natural in the young.'" |
