I read everywhere between the courses of the hotel-table, on the boat, in the cars until I had swallowed the last line. This is no common occurrence with a veteran romance-reader like myself." From George Ripley's Review of "The Household of Bouverie," in Harper's Magazine, November, 1860.
Bouverie, a lady who lived at some distance from Abbeychurch, and who was going to stay and dine at the Vicarage. She was tolerably well acquainted with Mr. Woodbourne, but she had not seen the girls since they were quite young children, and now, remarking Elizabeth, she asked Mrs. Hazleby if she was one of Mr. Woodbourne's daughters. 'Oh yes, said Mrs. Hazleby, 'the eldest of them.
All this made Mrs. Bouverie desirous of being acquainted with 'Lizzie, but she could find no opportunity of speaking to her, as Elizabeth never willingly came near strangers, and was fully occupied with the school-children, so that she and Anne were the last to come in-doors to dress.
