Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'Mrs Ward never allowed the springs of thought to grow dry for lack of reading. The one advantage that she gained from her short nights - for her hours of sleep were rarely more and often less than six - was that the long hours of wakefulness in the early morning gave her time for the reading of many books and of poetry'.
