Mr.. MrrCure Conway, wisin her youth NOR
bdly piuus. Her iavuilc reading WAS that
same ''Young's sht Thoughts which SIC
aflerwurd Gu; up IN The Wcstmil st + Rer'eir,
Her Chief objection to Bird Grove was that
il was near enough II high rold for her to
hear the occasional profanity of drivers to
thtir horses In one If her carly letters she
writes in distress about the Young people
who went to balls and piri,s when they
ought to be praying. While Miss Evans was
studying Latin and Greek and other things,
She was diligently administering to hes
father IN his long nvaidism. She
had, with all her unworldncss, a
notable punciIiousness AS mistress OF
the house ENeryint must bc done
IN form. She would mt allow the servant
maid to touch the CoIl-scull", even whcu
she was pr, sert and had nothing TO dos but
would order her to ring for the mun-seivant.
She received every one who called on bust
ness with hcr father with stately dignity, sit
ting n, her desk on the ground floor, where
| she transacted much of her fathers business,
/ Near the house Is long ditch, hedgerow
beside i, ard path, and that was her walk
year in and year out all alone. The fist
unstttling book she ever read, a devoted
friend thinks, was Isaac Taylor's Natural
History of Enthusiasm, which particularly
dealt with her Methodist associations.
Mr.. Conway says that The brilliant woman
dearly loved the characters she created ever
when they were wicked, Her friend. Sara
llcnuell, once told him that once when n
her house in London looking at some sketch
