Reading Experience:

Evidence:

25 November 1879, following account of husband's attendance at Conservative Party dinner at Poole, and late return home: 'It must have been 1/2 past 2 ere I was in bed. C[harles]. S[chreiber]. sat by the fire and I read to him, as is now our usual custom. I had just finished a psalm, when we heard some stir in the passage, and found that the butler, who had been providentially up late, had discovered that a room immediately over the children's wing was on fire.'
