Thanks for your review, Alexa. It has now been incorporated above.
This has been on TBR for too long, I really ought to pick it up asap = )

"...She believes she is ill but her husband and her brother, also a physician, say it is only "temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency."...She believes "personally...that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good. Personally, I disagree with their ideas. But what is one to do? I did write for a while in spite of them; but it does exhaust me a good deal—having to be so sly about it, or else meet with heavy opposition."..."
(J.L., p. 286)
