Summary: Passion begins with the mind, lays hold on the heart.



"Miss Talbot is absolutely my passion," Mrs Carter writes to their friend the astronomer. "I think of her all day, dream of her all night, and one way or other introduce her into every subject I talk of."

Passion begins with the mind, lays hold on the heart. It grows in spite of a distance that can be bridged only by correspondence and the good offices of friends. The two women have yet to converse face to face, though both yearn to do so. When they finally meet, the love between them will be strong enough to last a lifetime.
