Abstract
Within ten days of their father’s death, by 23 April (1799) Mary had joined her brother in the new household — neat, uncluttered, and spare, as Lamb liked a place to be.
Bridget Elia has been my housekeeper for many a long year. ‘Mackery End in Hertfordshire’ (Elia, 75)
I have great affection for Lamb/but I have likewise a perfect Lloyd-and-Lambophobia! Coleridge to Southey, 15 October 1799. (Griggs i, 542)
