Oh well, not to feel *too bad -- I never did manage to finish _Clarissa_
either.

(That was partly because half-way -- no, I exaggerate, about fifty pages
in -- I finally found a copy of _The Drapier's Letters_ in a second hand
bookshop in Cromer.  Now your man Swift, he wrote like an angel, and
Richardson's prose simply wilted beside it.)
