Scope and content
Mr Belsham was living in Hackney when Robert Pemberton Milnes was his pupil; recalls Charles the groom driving Robert and Rodes to Mr Shepherd's at Gateacre in Liverpool, probably about the time Miss Le Mesurier came as governess; Louisa's eldest sister [Martha?] was briefly taught by Mr Leadley the Fryston curate; later demolition of the Vicarage revealed a skeleton which Jane said haunted the area; Robert Milnes' clear perception of political folly meant that he could never have given himself wholly to any party; quotes Watts on idleness as a warning to Houghton.
