I can't reconcile myself to being called Miss Silver. I can't realise the character. It's like an affectation, like making-believe. Directly I relax my vigilance, I forget, and sink back into Johannah Rothe. I'm always Johannah Rothe when I'm alone.
1897 Henry Harland, Comedies and Errors, Ayer Publishing (reprint), page 284
