If you think, from this prelude, that anything like a romance is preparing for you, reader, you never were more mistaken. Do you anticipate sentiment, and poetry and reverie? Do you expect passion, and stimulus and melodrama? Calm your expectations; reduce them to a lowly standard.
Something real, cool and solid lies before you; something unromantic as Monday morning, when all who have work wake with consciousness that they must rise and betake themselves thereto.
Currer Bell
Such will be mine. Plain as a Catholic's fast on a Friday morn. Or maybe none at all.
