“[Anthony] Trollope cannot be too much read to-day. He is not old-fashioned. On the contrary, he is far newer-fashioned than the bulk of novelists to-day. Trollope writes of life, of live people, real things. He convinces—the word is a perfectly good expressive word despite protests against it of late—people who know about life and the world and men and women of it; on the contrary, the six-shilling novelist of to-day usually half convinces people who do not know much about these things.”
“Duck with cherry sauce, named after a type of cherry grown near Paris. Not much newer-fashioned than duck with orange sauce, although both are quite tasty.”
