1861-08-15: "15. Looked into the Novellieri Scelti. Discussed the plot of my novel with G. and in the course of our conversation I struck out an idea with which he was thoroughly satisfied as a "backbone" for the work. After lunch we went to the London Library and looked over some books. In the evening Dr. Bodichon came in, and afterwards I began Mrs. Jameson's Sacred and Legendary art." Diary 1861-1877 100
1861-08-16: "16. George has been very poorly to-day as well as yesterday- unable to work the whole morning- feeble and suffering. He is taking Dr. Brinton's prescriptions. Dr. B. tells him that the proximate cause of his bad health is a relaxed mucous membrane. I have never before seen him so feeble. Read Mrs. Jameson's "Legendary Art"." Diary 1861-1877 100
1861-08-31: "31. Headache this morning. Read some of Tiraboschi and copied out the Lives of some saints from Mrs. Jameson. Walked in the Park with G. In the evening came Mr. Pigott and Mr. Redford and we had some music. Jameson." Diary 1861-1877 101
