This would definitely be a good companion for anyone having a bit of trouble understanding the story in its original form. #Manga #Classics
Ch 18 (Vol II, Ch VI) "He was ordered to walk, to keep off the gout, and Mrs. Croft seemed to go shares with him in every thing, and to walk for her life, to do him good."
Time has passed. No longer at Uppercross in Fall, moved on to February in Bath.
Spotted on my walk yesterday, gorgeous red leaves of maple in my yard, looking across to more fall color around neighbors pond. ?

In any case, it‘s a nice, cozy read for one of those nights here in Seattle with the sounds of rain on your skylight and a cup of coffee.
