Excerpt from The Household of Sir Thos More

The author of The Household of Sir Thomas More - Anne Manning, who died in 1885 - is known to this generation by only a few of her many stories, of which The Old Chelsea Bun-Shop, Mary Powell which tells the story of Milton's wife, and A Noble Purpose Nobly Won, are perhaps the most read. But she was a delightful writer, who had a singular faculty of putting herself into the past; and she never did this with more reality and warmth of feeling than in the following story. It may seem to some readers that she would have done better had she kept less to the old spelling of the more ordinary words; but if this is a drawback, the whole effect of the book otherwise is to make transparently and perfectly natural the picture of More's day Its truth to the period may best be understood by comparing the story told in the diary of Margaret More with the life of her father written by her husband, William Roper, which is here prefixed to the supposed story. If we would know Sir Thomas More from another and critically retrospective point of view, we can turn to the lucid account given of him by M. Henri Bremond in the new series of Lives of the Saints published by Messrs Duckworth & Co. For we must not forget that "the Blessed Thomas More" has formally been added to the saints in the Catholic Calendar.
