| Evidence: | 'After that Kitty made a proposition very pleasant to me, that we should sit together all the afternoon and read "Pilgrim's Progress" and work; and we sat snugly over the nursery fire, and it was interesting and pleasant to me on two accounts, as I feel interested in the Allegory of the pilgrim and it was pleasant to be so snug with Kitty who I don't like to say much about ... We then drank tea; after tea Kitty and I read a little further ... after supper I read with Kitty until bed time.' |
