Evidence:
'They [newly married Lord and Lady Byron] read books together, and discussed them; Scott's Lord of the Isles was sent to Byron by [John] Murray [his publisher]. It they did not only discuss, for he pointed out to her, "with a miserable smile," the description of the wayward bridegroom: '"She watched, yet feared to meet, his glance, And he shunned hers, till when by chance They met, the point of foemen's lance Had given a milder pang."'
