Murder While I Smile (1998)
“Each member of the Berkeley Brigade carried one book as they proceeded toward their inevitable destination, Hatchard’s bookshop. As they approached the bow window, Prance drew a little ahead of the others.
When they reached him, he was standing like a statue, frozen in consternation, with his nose perilously close to being pressed against the windowpane. They were soon in possession of the cause. The entire window was filled with copies of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. Corinne instinctively put a... hand on his arm to comfort him in his distress. This was poorly done of the bookshop. If Prance’s Rondeaux were not considered worth promoting, what of other authors? Were Scott and Rogers, Southey and Wordsworth and Coleridge, not worth a few inches? What of the ladies, Fanny Burney and Maria Edgeworth? She cast a beseeching eye on Luten.

He was one of the driving forces of the Whigs, not because he wanted to make a great name for himself, but because he genuinely believed that the underprivileged deserved a better lot in life.MoreLess
