Anyone else struck by the parallels?

In reply to kevin stephens:

Send for the wetnurse and where do you think Steerpike is?

In reply to kevin stephens:
Know the book, don't know the reality. No kidding. Please expand, I'm intrigued.

In reply to kevin stephens:

Yes - good point. Made me remember that really great book too, and get some perspective.

I thought Titus was in a financially self-sustaining family though, not a bunch of idiotic brainless smug bloodsucking bigheaded leeches who should vanish from sight and keep their big mouths shut [I'm keeping my language and views really restrained and well-hidden here... no?]

Thanks for posting!

I was struck by the parallel between the host of peasant carvers gathering around the castle and the photographers outside the hospital

In reply to kevin stephens:

Nice one - one of many parallels no doubt - I must re-read the book.

In reply to kevin stephens: I lost hope for humanity when I heard a braying bubblehead on the radio explain she was so excited when she hear "the news" that she and her family just had to jump on the train to see the notice for themselves
