Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'You surprise me greatly by what you say of "Emma" and the other books. They enjoy the highest reputation, and I own, for my part, I was delighted with them. I fear they must have been badly read aloud to you. At all events, they are generally much admired, and I was quite serious in my praise of them.'
