The Enchanted April on Bleak House: “that line spoken years and years ago by an actress playing the part of Poor Jo in dramatised version of Bleak House”
The Enchanted April on The Stones of Venice: “nor of Ruskin's, whose Stones of Venice she had brought with her to re-read so nearly on the very spot”
Elizabeth and Her German Garden on Frederick the Great: “with the second volume of Carlyle’s Frederick under my father’s arm”
Elizabeth and Her German Garden on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: “Alice in Wonderland, after she had drunk the contents of the magic bottle, could not have grown smaller more suddenly than I grew younger the moment I passed through that magic door.”
The Philosopher Kings on The Enchanted April: “I had a queer obsession about justice. As though justice mattered. As though justice can really be distinguished from vengeance. It's only love that's any good. —ELIZABETH VON ARNIM, The Enchanted April”
