Sometimes I feel like Henry James assumes that the reader will read between the lines and figure out all that isn't being said and all of some real significance that is getting talked about by the characters in code and as a reader I am just trying to make head and tails of it all. He does then give a clearer picture but the meandering can be too much at times. But I am still liking the book.

I do find myself sometimes bewildered by the flow of dialogue but it's interesting as well.
Also certain descriptions are just beautifully done.

Chad seems interesting

The chapters uptill now have a melancholy feel to them.
