"I was to weigh the explanation we had just heard, to allow all due force to the high reputation of the gentleman who offered it..." - It's always weird that the word reputation gets bandied about in novels, but often no specifics about what the reputation was. (It's a tricky word, for instance, having a mistress didn't ruin a man's rep in the slightest.)

I don't think Hartright ever tells us if he settles up with the poor men he offered money to to help fight the fire...

Whenever a young pup is sighing over an elder's habit of nattering on about seemingly unimportant things - odds are high that some of those natterings will be important.

Somehow I think the saddest part so far (doesn't seem as melodrama-like) is Mrs. Clements' telling of why she felt like a mother to Anne: "I always said she was sent to console me for never having chick nor child of my own."

Random link for history info http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/books... - the book caused a merchandising craze. Which means I'm sure people got sick of hearing about it. Cough, Twilight, cough.

I am in a slight bit of disbelief that Hartright and Marian are The Only Ones Who Recognize Her - not really convincing, even with True Love Eyesight. But hey, I'll go along with it.

I think I must give the book an extra star because even tho I've spoiled myself for the ending (happily) I am now STILL actively reading while hoping I'll discover that Mr. Fairlie has an aneurysm. Or something equally horrible. Because Collins has totally convinced me he's that awful, even more than the villains.

Hartright: "...I came back, as I had hoped, prayed, believed I should come back - a changed man." - please just be at least as manly/brave as Marian. She'll thank you.
