  1. So, so tired! Finally, putting my feet up! With tea & Trollope's The Small House at Allington. I'm at 60% of the book and I really don't know where he's going! And it's not like him, is it? I mean, he usually gives one some kind of assurance!

  6. “But in the tradition of #Trollope and #Balzac, the files illuminate, in indelible detail, the ways in which Epstein’s money and connections appeared to count for more than his well-earned reputation as a sexual predator and procurer.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-fin...

  9. > In.. England, men are not slaves ; but the competition of the labour market forces upon them long days of continual labour. In our own country, ten hours of toil, repeated six days a week, for the majority of us will barely produce the necessaries of life... free labour in Jamaica cannot be commanded; that it cannot be had always, and up to a certain given quantity at a certain moment..

  12. Anthony Trollope on spoilers and suspense:
    "And then, how grievous a thing it is to have the pleasure of your novel destroyed by the ill-considered triumph of a previous reader.
    'Oh, you needn't be alarmed for Augusta, of course she accepts Gustavus in the end.'
    'How very ill-natured you are, Susan,' says Kitty, with tears in her eyes; 'I don't care a bit about it now.'
    Dear Kitty, if you will read my book, you may defy the ill-nature of your sister. There shall be no secret that she can tell you. Nay, take the third volume if you please - learn from the last pages all the results of our troubled story, and the story shall have lost none of its interest, if indeed there be any interest in it to lose."
    Barchester Towers, 1857
