" ...unromantic as Monday morning,.. It is not positively affirmed that you shall not have a taste of the exciting, perhaps towards the middle and close of the meal, but it is resolved that the first dish... shall be cold lentils and vinegar without oil; it shall be unleavened bread with bitter herbs, and no roast lamb." ~ Charlotte Brontë. And yes, the first 12% was quite boring. Ha ha. It's much better now. ☕︎

"If you think, from this prelude, that anything like a romance is preparing for you, reader, you never were more mistaken. Do you anticipate sentiment, and poetry, and reverie? Do you expect passion, and stimulus, and melodrama? Calm your expectations; reduce them to a lowly standard. Something real, cool, and solid lies before you; something unromantic as Monday morning..." Charlotte Brontë
