| Popis: | “… Miss Bronte never remembers her father dressing himself in the morning without putting a loaded pistol in his pocket, just as regularly as he puts on his watch. There was this little deadly pistol sitting down to breakfast with us, kneeling down to prayers at night, to say nothing of a loaded gun hanging up on high ready to pop off on the slightest emergency.”1 Thus Mrs. Gaskell in a letter written in 1856. |
