They were nearer to each other that evening than they had ever been before. Afterwards...

That line amuses me every time. I cannot count the number of times I have written or read something similar in fic, and meant something rather more than Broster presumably did!

I started reading The Vicar of Wakefield recently, mostly because it was on my mind after it being mentioned in Broster's novel. I'm enjoying it! It's very readable. A quick, engaging read sprinkled with touches of dry humour.
