I closed 2016 with centuries of romance and drama.

The third installment of my Victorian literature saga: Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility".

Hear the tolling of the bells - iron bells! What a world of solemn thought their monody compels! In the silence of the night, how we shiver with affright at the melancholy meaning of their tone!
