This Seeing of the World
But he went on to reflect that he had done very wisely to pull up stakes and come abroad; this seeing of the world was a very interesting thing. He had learned a great deal; he couldn’t say just what, but he had it there under his hatband. He had done what he wanted, he had seen the great things, and he had given his mind a chance to “improve” if it would. He cheerfully believed it had improved. Yes, this seeing of the world was very pleasant, and he would willingly do a little more of it.
–Henry James. The American.

I like this so much! Good one@#
Thank you! I am enjoying reading this novel so much. On nearly every page I am laughing, or finding something very apt. James is a marvel.

One of his best novels, at least one of my favorites.
Yay! You know it! I have been reading the novel and laughing aloud, sighing, clapping. James has a style I enjoy and admire. I’m glad to know I’m not alone. 🙂
Have a nice week, Evelyne–
