Looking at Stevenson’s letters of that year in the light of this revelation, one can guess that the suspected pregnancy happened around May or early June, when there are many exclamations on the ‘sub-celestial’ life he and Fanny were leading at La Solitude, revitalised schemes for future writing, attempts to master account-keeping at last, more references than usual to Fanny being ‘out of sorts’ and ‘sick’, and cryptic utterances about fate, such as this to Gosse:
The devil has always an imp or two in every house; and my imps are getting lively. The good lady, the dear kind lady, the sweet, excellent lady, Nemesis, whom alone I adore, has fixed her wooden eye upon me. I fall prone; spare me, Mother Nemesis!54
