Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'We read little; my companion has never learnt letters, and I, less fortunate in that respect, having only been able to discover one book in the house, a Spanish "Libro de Misa", beautifully printed in red and black letters, and bound in scarlet morocco. I take this book and read, until he, tired of listening to prayers, however beautiful, challenges me to a game of cards.'
