Quotation:
[IX, 1879, July 8 or 9] Hardy attended a garden party with Emma at Mrs Macmillan's at Knapdale: "...met a Mrs H., who pretended to be an admirer of my books, and apparently had never read one. She had with her an American lady, sallow, with black dancing eyes, dangling earrings, yellow costume, and gay laugh."
