George Eliot to Sara Sophia Hennell, 20 December 1846. “I have been at Griff for the last week or I should have written before. I thank you most heartily for sending me Heliados -- first, because I admire it greatly in itself, and secondly because it is a pretty proof that I am not dissociated from your most hallowed thoughts. As yet I have read it only once, but I promise myself to read it again and again. I shall not shew it to any one, for I hate "friendly criticism," as much for you as for myself -- but you have a better spirit than I, and when you come I will render Heliados up to you that others may have the pleasure of reading it.” GEL 1: 229
