I fear you take me to be too sensitive Uncle. I wish you would have just excluded me entirely from your rant to Dodo. It is not for me to even come back with a reply to your crudeness, but I will say that you are just rude to even talk about me this way…. View More

It was a rather interesting novel. I enjoyed the novel dearly, though I suppose it took my a little while longer to read it than you. I have a good sense of why Clarissa was with Richard, she seemed comfortable with him at her “side.” I know that my husband does as he wishes and… View More

Can you believe how similar the readings were. Septimus kept being referred to as “the young man.” and Henry kept being referred to as “the boy.” Neither one are good. Though of course “boy” is much worse than “young man.” I feel that maybe Lawrence picked up a thing or two from Woolf or vice… View More

I know a thing or two about death and how this book saddens me. However I am not used to the madness that drove poor Septimus to his end. He suffered for so long for nothing and then dies for nothing. Where I come from, death should be deserved. This poor man shouldn’t have met… View More

It was horrible the way Septimus had to go. But he had chosen to go to that particular physician. It is one’s own fault for what they choose to do or whom they choose to associate with. Yes this physician was definitely in the wrong, because the duty of a “doctor” is to protect their… View More

Mr. Doyle, I agree with your observations and I, too, feel strongly about the absurdity. I was sad to see Septimus go in such a way and in the hands of a so called physician? How could somebody betray their patient like that. Well I know a thing or two about betrayal. This man should… View More

I will say this has been a rather intriguing read.  It was a great departure from the death and horrors of novels past.  I was pleased that the majority of the novel was more lighthearted until I happened upon the tragic death of dear Septimus.  I found, in my readings, some common personalities that reminded… View More

Hello Ms. Garth, I do apologize for interrupting!  I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation with Mrs. Lydgate.  I don’t believe I have ever had the pleasure of making acquaintances with you!  It seems as though you and I share some common mentality.  I do believe that I am a loving and caring wife, but… View More

Dear Uncle, I do have more sense than you give me credit for.  While I have a hard time understanding some things, I feel as though the minimal studying I was able to do under Mr. Casaubon has broadened my understandings a bit.  I did find Mrs. Dalloway an interesting read.  I’m afraid you are… View More

Ah, such sweet, sweet misery. It is rather painful, indeed. The book has come to a finish and it is true that I did not want it to be so. How it has captivated me so. Her party, her party! Peter, and then Sally, the now Lady Rosseter… their conversation. How it has touched me,… View More
