M&D - Chapter 19 - p 193 - Macclesfield and Bradley

[Elisabeth Romberg]

So the point of view changes, again, and the narrator is now Mason. This carries on till the bottom of the next page, 194.

I find the paragraph about how 'Bradley might never have spoken' particularly genius.

«Macclesfield star’d vacantly, his face gone in the Instant to it’s own commision’d Portrait,- a response to unwelcome speech perfected by the Class to which he yet aspir’d. Bradley might never have spoken.»



Sorry if this is a repetition. 
My kid started kindergarten this week. Emotional and exhausting by all standards, but all good.
