Evidence:

"Charlotte M. Yonge, apprehensive that mothers in the 1890s were paying insufficient attention to what their daughters got up to on Sundays, regretted that children were not encouraged to become as passionately fond of their Bibles as Lady Augustus Stanley had revealed herself to be, devoted to a great Bagster's Bible, almost as large as herself, running after her sister to read it with her, and especially delighting in the Gospel of St. John."
