In Fuller’s words
“Pin money" by Mrs C. Gore. This woman is shallow with all her lightness and brightness but enviable for she can express her thoughts just as she intended… Frederica and her brother are painted very prettily… Lady Sophia affected me; she is a touch above the graceful-mob of the book. The bones are very good _ but never _ never shall we again see any like those of Vivian Grey _ The vulgarian mother and stiff old aunt are a bit too strong.”
