George Eliot: But that intimacy...

Source: NOVELISTS

But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to be done away with.

Source: Middlemarch, bk. 3, ch. 27 (1871), of Rosamund and Lydgate.
-- George Eliot, (Nov 22 1819-1880), English novelist; Mary Ann Evans was the foremost woman novelist of her time, e.g., Silas Marner, 1861.
