——Pray reach me my fool’s cap—— I fear you sit upon it, Madam——’tis under the cushion——I’ll put it on——
Bless me! you have had it upon your head this half hour.——
Literally an 18th century social experiment. I have no idea how I feel about this book. I didn't hate it but I also didn't love it. I think if I was alive in 1763 I would have fucked with this heavy. It is a shame I am like, 260 years late to the party. I would have been like Yes Tristram. Fuck the Dutch. If anything this book made me speculate on the kind of life I'd live if I were alive when it was coming out volume-by-volume. This is probably one of the most seriously unserious books to grace this planet. Perhaps the true cock and bull story was the friends we made along the way, &c &c..
