Status Updates From Vanity Fair

I can't believe we're already almost finished.

"As his hero and heroine pass the matrimonial barrier, the novelist generally drops the curtain, as if the drama were over: as if, once landed in the marriage country, all were green and pleasant there: and wife and husband had nothing but to link arms, and wander gently toward old age in happy and perfect fruition. But little Amelia was just on the bank of her new country and was already looking anxiously back."

I'm glad there's more context on what's going on with the Sedleys. I'm obsessed with how gossipy and salacious this is. I'm sure they read these serials and clutched their pearls.
