| Evidence: | Henry James to Alice James, 8 November (letter begun 7 November) 1869: "I have of course no company but my own [in Rome], but in the intervals of sightseeing find a rare satisfaction in the long-denied perusal of a book. I have been reading Stendhal -- a capital observer and a good deal of a thinker. He really knows Italy." |
