Absolutely and—unlike Jane Austen writing about two men alone—he writes about women alone all the time. He has no problem with that. Trollope himself had the experience of someone trying to trap him into marriage. The other thing I really like about Trollope, as an American, is that these people have such a horror of commerce.
But yes, Trollope does get inside what people are saying and thinking privately. I should say that the top plot of The American Senator is really dreary. Trollope does do that. His American characters are always spirits of misrule, really. The prey, the field, gets smaller. As I said, Arabella Trefoil is probably my favourite Trollope heroine. Is it a real doorstopper? I can show it to you, because I have all my Trollope Society editions here. It is pretty big, but his books are very easy to read.
The Way We Live Now is about a swindler or confidence trickster, Augustus Melmotte, who bears a strong resemblance to Robert Maxwell, if you remember him. Even though this trickster financier is dubious socially, he has a daughter, Marie, who is a massive heiress. So, a marriage is arranged between Marie Melmotte and Lord Nidderdale which, of course, falls apart when her father loses most of his money.
But again, I said how great Trollope is at the unexpected. What should he do? I feel emotional about the narrator.
I was feeling so wistful and then this sentence just jumped at me, like he was by my side. But in terms of his characters, I think you do get emotionally involved. Lily Dale! I was totally living in that world. Trollope does talk to you all the time, which I like.
I was feeling that I was going to miss hanging out with him. I felt I was leaving him. Who gets the girl? Or, rather, who gets to keep the money? Who wants the money? And who gets the girl? Could you explain what they are? The Barchester novels are his tales of clerical and ecclesiastical life and the Pallisers are the political novels and are all about power.
The Eustace Diamonds is part of the Palliser sequence, but I read the Pallisers out of sequence and it was not a problem.
She is a wealthy widow and she wants to keep this valuable family necklace—the Eustace Diamonds—and insists that her husband gave it to her. The family are furious.
This governess has got all the virtues, but does he want to be living in a small house near the Swiss Cottage the equivalent of Siberia back then?

No, thanks. Is that legal? Meanwhile, Eric Adams, the newly elected mayor of New York, has been on a tear. Is this legal? Probably not. And more to the point, who is going to stop Adams? I suspect that we are going to see a lot of that with Eric Adams. Nepotism, I know, has a long and storied heritage. John F. Kennedy appointed his brother to be Attorney General of the United States. Here she was rarely disturbed by her daughter, and admitted no visitors except editors and critics.
But her son was controlled by no household laws, and would break in upon her privacy without remorse. She had hardly finished two galloping notes after completing her letter to Mr. Ferdinand Alf, when Felix entered the room with a cigar in his mouth and threw himself upon the sofa.
It depends altogether on whether they wish to flatter or snub a fellow. A fellow can't live without some money in his pocket. I do with as little as most fellows. I pay for nothing that I can help. Barchester Towers Anthony Trollope 4. Can You Forgive Her? Anthony Trollope 4.
