At this he laughed and so did we- the jests of the rich are ever successful.
I had scarce taken orders a year before I began to think seriously of matrimony, and chose my wife as she did her wedding gown, not for a fine glossy surface, but such qualities as would wear well.
However, when any one of our relations was found to be a person of very bad character, a troublesome guest, or one we desired to get rid of, upon his leaving my house, I ever took care to lend him a riding coat, or a pair of boots, or sometimes an horse of small value, and I always had the satisfaction of finding he never came back to return them.
-The Vicar of Wakefield, Oliver Goldsmith
I started this novel because Robert Martin read it in Emma, so far it's kind of random and I don't like the main character, but it has so many great little quotes.
A horse of small value! It kills me dead!
Also, never talk about your wife like that!

One Dress a Day Challenge
July: Green Redux (+ Blue Redux)
Two for the Road / Audrey Hepburn as Joanna Wallace
I wish we got to see more of this dress! It appears briefly in the film's last scene, and she never leaves the car. We can see that it's quite short, possibly a minidress. It has sporty white stripes down the sleeves and a high-standing white collar with a ring-pull zipper in another white stripe running down the front to about the waist.
The dress is by Mary Quant, and the sunglasses are by Oliver Goldsmith, a design known as YUHU. They became very trendy after this movie premiered.

It's finally happening tomorrow.
Participating in a student exchange programme has always been on my 'College Life' bucket list. I prepared my clothes for tomorrow and hung it to keep it ready to go; it was then that a pang of nostalgia hit me. I used to hang a white shirt in the same position when I was in school (as a part of my school uniform). Never wore one after I left school. But here I am, playing the character of Charles Marlow and hanging my (kinda) school uniform now. Just how fast the night changes!
Gotta practice my lines now.

Marbled Monday
This week’s Marbled Monday is The Traveller, A Poem by Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) with an engraving designed by Samuel Wale (1721-1786) and engraved by Charles Grignion (1721-1810). Goldsmith’s best known work may be his novel The Vicar of Wakefield, though he also wrote several other poems. This book was printed for T. Carnan and F. Newbery Junior in St. Paul’s Church Yard, London, in 1774. 
The binding is not contemporary to the work inside it, and was likely done at some point during the 20th century. This marbling is a bouquet or peacock pattern, done in a dark grey, light grey, and cream color scheme that is paired with a light grey-green book cloth for the spine.

A Groatsworth of Goldsmith
It is characteristic of this specialized age that appreciation for Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) seems to have declined over the past century. And yet it is the very eclecticism of his undertakings that make Goldsmith extraordinary: playwright, novelist, poet, historian, biographer, natural historian, and (many believe) also a children’s author. Like Smollett, Goldsmith was trained to be a…

Poem of the Day 31 October 2023
Oliver Goldsmith. 1728-1774
Memory
O MEMORY, thou fond deceiver,   Still importunate and vain, To former joys recurring ever,   And turning all the past to pain:
Thou, like the world, th' oppress'd oppressing,   Thy smiles increase the wretch's woe: And he who wants each other blessing   In thee must ever find a foe.
