We all know this fish...
"Some minds are wonderful for keeping their bloom in this way, as a patriarchal gold-fish apparently retains to the last its youthful illusion that it can swim in a straight line beyond the encircling glass. Mrs. Tulliver was an amiable fish of this kind, and, after running her head against the same resisting medium for thirteen years, would go at it again to-day with undulled alacrity."

I have tried to get somewhere with this novel, but it always manages to elude me and doesn't pull me in. I congratulate you for being in that enviable 64%!
