Similarly, Lady Eleanor Butler (1739-1829), who together with Sarah Ponsonby (1755-1831) made up the lesbian couple known as the Ladies of Llangollen, continued her journal into the nineteenth century (only partly published to this day). Sections sprinkled with references to "my Better half" and "My Beloved" survive for 1807 and 1819.
A few of Balzac's texts include lesbian characters, most notably La fille aux yeux d'or (1835), where the young and beautiful Paquita is kept cloistered by her lesbian lover, a rich marquise.
