reading Tolstoy, Yeates, Dickens, Tennyson, Hardy, bronte, all them people. phyllis and verity laying next to me in bed. believeing brahms is the best thing since sliced bread. opium pipe at the ready. tophat and waistcoat. gentlemans clubs, archery. and never a dull moment. always moving from one lady to another. how does Jack do it? adored by everyone in society, even those you cheese off.
