More discussion about The Historian:
Page 156: "I had imagined...." a beautifully descriptive paragraph @ Oxford.
"Around us lay softly..." pg. 157 "venerable" respected and old, amazingly well-kept and bright
158: enter Stephen Barley, a boy!
Youthful romance somehow escaped our protagonist's life...now at 18 she felt a quiver of it's effects.
"Earl of Rochester"...movie with Depp "The Libertine"....name-dropping in the book, a set of code words that seem to state: "I am here, I am an English buff...and I know things"....like quoting Milton, or Shakespeare, or T.S. Eliot...
"The library was, of course..." pg 159
end of ch. 22....last four or five sentences...
Note: many areas of no transitions...done on purpose to dishevel the reader? Uneasiness...
pg. 172..."Since that moment..."
end of chapter 24, a wonderful cliffhanger; "...I have gone to look for your mother."
SHE'S ALIVE!! oh yeah,..... move forward to pg. 180 for the actual letter from her Dad, Paul.
pg. 185...last paragraph depicting a spirit weary of education...a spirit compressed being let out to feel the excitement of reality. Expand one's spirit...get out and experience life away from computers and books and studies...
