Book Excerpt
"Very useful things indeed they are, sir," said Mrs. Hall.
"And I'm very naturally anxious to get on with my inquiries."
"Of course, sir."
"My reason for coming to Iping," he proceeded, with a certain deliberation of manner, "was ... a desire for solitude. I do not wish to be disturbed in my work. In addition to my work, an accident--"
"I thought as much," said Mrs. Hall to herself.
"--necessitates a certain retirement. My eyes--are sometimes so weak and painful that I have to shut myself up in the dark for hours together. Lock myself up. Sometimes--now and then.

Great Classic!
I'd recommend this to all my friends. Tha character growth is very interesting, and the way each page grabs your attention was great. There were low points and high points. And as far as a book written in the time of H.G. Wells I have to say is a great read.
