Evidence
1857-12-17: "Thursday. 17. Read my new story to G. this evening as far as the end of the third chapter. He praised it highly. I have finished "Die Familie" by Riehl, a delightful book. I am in the Choephorae now. In the evenings we are reading History of Thirty Years' Peace and Beranger. Thoroughly disappointed in Beranger." Diary 1854-1861 71
1858-01-17: "Sunday. Cold and sore throat, but enjoying the writing of my 5th chapter. I have begun the Eumenides, having finished the Choephora. We are reading Wordsworth in the evenings - at least G. is reading him to me. I am still reading aloud Miss Martineau's history." Diary 1854-1861 73
