Why was he single? He stirred uneasily-he did not like mirrors. ![]() ![]() He ought to be able to find inspiration in his real personality. He turned his mind to thinking up a cover that would explain this without inviting advances from the Mrs. He knew that he was a pleasant, attractive man and that there was no apparent reason why he should be single. He thought this with irritation, not conceit. The deep flaw was that he was too eligible to be a bachelor. Better to be thought chronically shy than to have landladies with duplicate keys sneaking in in their nightclothes. Garden had discovered his secret-or rather, she would have if she had lived a few seconds longer- therefore he had not been totally secure, therefore his cover was not perfect, therefore he had made a mistake. If he were totally secure no one could discover his secret. If his cover were perfect, he would be totally secure. There was no question that he had made a mistake. He sat down to think about how he had gone wrong. He would wait an hour before leaving, it would be safer later. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The money makeover![]() Oh, yes, I vaguely know who he is, I’m already on a journey to be better with my money and I’m hashing out my own plan - I might learn something here?ĭave Ramsey is a big deal in the personal finance space in America.

Morgan![]() ![]() ![]() It’s impossible to dismiss Henry as simply a monster or Henrietta as merely a victim, because the author conveys such an intimate understanding of these tortured people. Morgan’s ability to parse such moral complexities is even more evident as the incest continues into Henrietta’s 20s, and she retaliates through one-night stands with strangers. This refrain, decidedly self-serving when uttered by narcissistic Judith, later swells to a chorus of more justifiably bitter female voices. It’s his twisted way of reclaiming the girl from her mother, Judith, who exits the marriage bemoaning women’s hard lot in a man’s world. Henry’s sense of entitlement extends to his daughter Henrietta, with whom he first has sex when she is only 13. ![]() Yet he unquestioningly accepts his father’s belief that the world and all its fruits belong by natural right to white male aristocrats like themselves.
