“The bias of human nature to be slow in correspondence triumphs even over the present quickening in the general pace of things” - George Eliot on texting people back, probably

The in-depth portraits that Eliot paints of the characters are incredible. I have just gotten past the part about the Vichy's and Mr Featherstone and that was a marvelous chapter. I will begin Book 2 on my next read.

Every time I make time to read this book it delights me - which makes it a little confusing that I can go so long stretches without picking it up 🤷‍♀️
