Feb. 29th, 2004 12:47 pmI think I should update just to have an entry on February 29th.
I've been reading Phineas Redux and it's really all too easy for me to identfy with Phineas (before the murder, when he's desperate to get a place in government). It's shameful to admit that I very much wish I had a Duchess of Omnium to try to arrange everything to my advantage, although of course it doesn't work out well for Phineas Finn and it's much better that the world isn't run that way any more. I will say, though, that if I end up on trial for the murder of someone who's a rival for a job the joke will very much be on me.
This entry is so cryptic that I hardly need to lock it--unless the reader has also read Trollope's Palliser novels.
