She had been thrilled to hear about Jane from Geraldine Jewsbury, who had first taken her up—as Jane thought—in 'a blaze of enthusiasm' and fit of jealousy 'of me and Mrs. Paulet' (19 Jan. 1846: CL [Collected Letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle (Durham, NC, 1970-)] 20:109). A little later she had written as a liar (CL 20:38). Now, at last, they were brought together by young Sarah Dilberoglue, wife of Stauros, see the Introduction, xxvi-xxvii.
