Il se dévore❤️

Words meant such a very great deal to her - and more than that, information conveyed by means of words - that she wanted them to mean a great deal to everyone else.

She looked, thought Kitty, very English. Shy but invincible.

Kitty had frequently felt that she lacked some essential feminine quality, that this resided in the folklore passed on by women who possessed a knowledge that she was forced to supplement by reading books.

She closed the book in front of her.She felt that she had left her onerous daily self behind,and with it all problems of nationality,religion,identity,her place in the world,what to cook for dinner,all thoughts of eventual loneliness and illness and death.She passed into a sphere of pure meaning, derived from words written nearly 200 years ago,and those very words, used for her enlightenment,did in fact enlighten her

I find Anita's writing hilarious
