And there's plenty more from this Victorian prodigy to share!
This deluded website
http://www.nickpage.co.uk/worstweb/ros/ros.html (for some reason these nitwits think that she's
bad) give us this:
Irene Iddesleigh is a tale of a mismatched marriage. It contains one of Amanda's most famous quotes:
"Speak! Irene! Wife! Woman! Do not sit in silence and allow
the blood that now boils in my veins to ooze through
cavities of unrestrained passion and trickle down to drench me
with its crimson hue!"
Her second novel, Delina Delaney begins with possibly the most baffling opening sentence in any literature:
Have you ever visited that portion of Erin's plot that
offers its sympathetic soil for the minute survey and scrutinous
examination of those in political power, whose decision has
wisely been the means before now of converting the stern
and prejudiced, and reaching the hand of slight aid to share
its strength in augmenting its agricultural richness?
