and a lovely wave of relief and happiness floods through me and I type:

lola666>sure. Disappointed though.

trollfan1234>?

lola666>it’s all just the same plot isn’t it? Rich boy falls in love with poor girl/waits it out for a year or so to prove he means it/finally the family agrees. Only this time it turns out she’s rich after all so it’s OK. And there isn’t even any tension, we know from the beginning that she’s the only relative of the rich old man so when he finds that out he’ll leave her all the money.

trollfan1234>OK, agreed, it’s not his strongest book

lola666>Trollope should at least have made it more of a mystery, but we know that they’ll get together ANYWAY so it still wouldn’t have helped much.

trollfan1234> but isn’t there satisfaction watching the pattern work itself out?

lola666>get more of that out of an Agatha Christle I’ve read 100 times.

trollfan1234>Hmmn.

lola666>he should have fallen for someone else while he was away all that time, create a hit of tension that way.

trollfan1234>Trollope does that sometimes.

lola666>but you know it’ll never happen, like Phineas/Madame Goetz or John & Madeleine, the women they fall in love with in big cities are always adventuresses, then they come home to the nice girl without flashy looks, Trollope really cliched old-fashioned romantic author, why does he have an intellectual reputation I really don’t have much to say about this book AT ALL sorry

trollfan1234>don’t get started on the Joanna T v. Anthony T thing again

lola666>but it’s true I really think J Trollope much more sophisticated in view of human nature, at least she sees it as protean, endlessly changeable, AT thinks everyone’s personalities carved in stone

trollfan1234>do people really change that much?

lola666>oh yes I think so

trollfan1234>OK we may change opinions whatever but do our ACTIONS really change that much

lola666>Hmmn interesting maybe after lots of therapy.

trollfan1234>haha

lola666>Pallisers are better

trollfan1234>well OK devil’s advocate: who really changes in the Pallisers?

lola666>Hmmn I like Maud not being able to make up her mind until too late

trollfan1234>yeah but it’s the right thing she didn’t really love him

lola666>but she’ll never meet anyone else she’s too old by their standards anyway! she would have been happy with Silverbridge.

trollfan1234>do you think so

lola666>or at least content, yeah, she’d have been a duchess and he was v attractive

trollfan1234>funny youre arguing the way a man’s supposed to & Im more romantic (like a woman) don’t think Maud would have been happy

lola666>what about Lily Dale

trollfan1234>John made big mistake, he was always there like a dog, should have tried to disappear/make her jealous

lola666>so she didn’t see him like the perpetual little boy

trollfan1234>exactly, women hate men slobbering over their feet

lola666>dyou speak from experience.

trollfan1234>never slobbered! teenage years had mad crushes on girls, made it too obvious, never got them, cooler now I hope

lola666>you’re right about John/Lily he really needed to go away for a long time & come back as a man – you know what I mean by that, not being sexist (he should have been masterful, etc)

trollfan1234>no its fine we agreed that we completely understand each other male/female stuff dont
