People attend the Whitby Goth Weekend in Whitby. #dracula #19thcentury #19thcenturynovels

Fancying a rewatch of #BBC 1999 #TV version of #ElizabethGaskell Wives and Daughters. We haven’t seen it since it first aired but have the #DVD, which I just pulled out of a precariously tall DVD pile in our sitting room! Looking forward to it. I reread the original novel recently. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0215364/ #BritishTV #90sTV #VictorianLiterature #19thCenturyLiterature #NineteenthCenturyLiterature #Novels #CostumeDrama #WomenAuthors #FemaleAuthors #Books #19thCenturyNovels #VictorianNovels #Fiction

"There was something in (Mr. Masters') appearance which recommended him among his neighbors, who were disposed to
say he 'looked the gentleman;' but a stranger might have thought his cheeks to be flabby and his mouth to be weak."

In a novel about image, a subtle reminder that it's subjective. Nicely played.

"But, then, an attorney must live by lawsuits, and it seemed to Mr. Twentyman that an attorney should not stop to inquire whether a new client is a brute or not."

Was not expecting an entire chapter meditating on legal ethics. But then, I picked this book knowing nothing about it, so... interested to see where this goes, now that the plot has finally started.

"not too proud to eat toffy" is my new favorite way of expressing someone's willingness to be authentic.
