George Eliot to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bray, 22 November 1852. “I perceive your reading of the golden rule is "Do as you are done by," and I shall be wiser than to expect a letter from you another Monday morning when I have not earned it by my Saturday's billet. The fact is, both callers and work thicken -- the former sadly interfering with the latter. I will just tell you how it was last Saturday and that will give you an idea of my days. My task was to read an article of Greg's in the N British on Taxation, a heap of newspaper articles and all that J. S. Mill says on the same subject. When I had got some way into this magnum mare, in comes Mr. Chapman with a thick German volume. "Will you read enough of this to give me your opinion of it?" Then of course I must have a walk after lunch, and when I had sat down again thinking that I had two clear hours before dinner -- rap at the door -- Mr. Lewes -- who of course sits talking till the second bell rings. After dinner another visitor -- and so behold me at 11 P.M. still very far at sea on the subject of taxation but too tired to keep my eyes open.” GEL 2: 68
