The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume II

CHAPTER VIII
28/268

In Rome she has us! What makes me talk so ill-naturedly is the information I have since received, that she has put everybody unfortunate enough to be caught, into a book, and published them at full length, in American fashion.

Now I do confess to the greatest horror of being caught, stuck through with a pin, and beautifully preserved with other butterflies and beetles, even in the album of a Corinna in yellow silk.

I detest that particular sort of victimisation....
We are invited to go to Constantinople this summer, to visit the American Minister there.

There's a temptation for you! God bless you, dearest Isa.

I shall be delighted to see you again, and so will Robert! I always feel (I say to him sometimes) that you love me a little, and that I may rest on you.
