Welcome to Litsy!

Wow!!!
Miriam: “How did people find out about books? Where did they get them from?”
[Can you imagine ever having this problem today?]

The Russian student Shatov to Miriam: You do not know what individual liberty is because you know nothing of any other condition ... suddenly a man near me on the outskirt of the crowd shouted in a full voice: ‘Chamberlain is a damned liar!‘ ... There was also quite near me, a very big John Bull Bobby. He turned to pass on with a smile. Ah that indeed for a Russian was a most wonderful spectacle.

Thanks to @rather_be_reading for sharing the image. Can‘t wait to have pumpkin pie later this week when I get home from this trip!

More fun thoughts from Miriam: Experienced people said ‘there is always something,‘ ‘a skeleton in every cupboard.‘ ... But why did people get into cupboards?

How inconvenient for people with very long eyelashes to have to wear glasses, she thought, engrossing herself in a sudden vision of her neighbour‘s profile.
