The longer association would go far in explaining the terrible conspiracy into which, from soon after that time, the two women so readily fell together a criminal conspiracy, in which the reader may see something of the ``false nurse'' in Anne Turner and something of Jean Livingstone in Frances Howard, Lady Essex. Fisher Unwin, 1925. Antony Weldon.
The word 'yellow-back' witnesses its close association with fiction; and in France, as we know, it is the all but universal custom to bind books in yellow paper. Mr. Heinemann and Mr. Unwin have endeavoured to naturalise the custom here; but, though in cloth yellow has emphatically 'caught on, in paper it still hangs fire.
If pilgrimages formed part of the Evangelical course, the little town or large village of Olney should have attracted as many pilgrims as S. Thomas's shrine at Canterbury did five centuries before. For with this dull, uninteresting spot are connected the names not only of Newton, and Cowper, and Mrs. Unwin, but also those of two successive vicars, Mr. Moses Brown and Mr.
'Faith! cried the baronet, with a laugh, 'honest John preaches at the church of Will Unwin, commonly known as Will's, where many a time it is two in the morning before he comes to the end of his sermon.

Was I too ill to be told? Couldn't you make me know what was happening? You or the doctors or or anybody?"
