Excerpt from A Modern Quixote, Vol. 2
It all comes of reading poetry and novels, she says when she gets angry; and then I have to repress a smile, for I am not much given that way, and I am sure she troubles Mudie much more than I do.
It is true that I am very fond of good novels; for I think a great many of the cleverest people in the present day put their thoughts into them, and, in some respects, it is the special literature of the nineteenth century, though whether most of the authors will live is another thing; it is surely something to have influenced your generation.
What a goose I am! Already I am indulging in truisms and disquisitions; they say that is always the way with women when they try to write down their ideas. Well, I will write some rules for myself.
