'Savile Morton wrote to his mother that he had "come across Alfred Tennyson." "We looked out some Latin translations of his poems by Cambridge men, and read some poems of Leigh Hunt's, and some of Theocritus and Virgil [...] I had no idea Virgil could ever sound so fine as it did by his reading....Yesterday I went to see him again. After some chat we sat down in two separate rooms to read Ellen Middleton, by Lady Georgiana Fullerton -- very highly spoken of."'

'it is a novel of really great power & very strong interest, rather of a painful kind, a very pure and high strain of sentiment, with now & then to much of Puseyite tendencies, especially upon the doctrine of confession, not I think very great pathos, very good style, and where it is attempted successful delineation of character'

'I finished chiefly in bed after the House. I like it extremely; perhaps there is not quite so much power as in Ellen Middleton, but it is full of beauty & interest; one sees she is now a very fervent Catholic, but there is not a word of offence to any others'.
