Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

• "She became aware that she had thought the less of him because he had thought the more of her. She had worshipped this other man because he had assumed superiority and had told her that he was big enough to be her master. But now, -- now that it was all too late, -- the veil had fallen from her eyes. She could now see the difference between manliness and 'deportment."
• "He was one of those men who, as in youth they are never very young, so in age are they never very old."

― Anthony Trollope, The Prime Minister
