Home Again

I have been in London at a psychology conference for the past few days, helping to get stories into the papers. Here is my favourite example.

My latest House Points column has been posted, and I have also added a passage from A Tale of Two Cities to Serendib.

If you look at the psychology story, you will see why I was reading the novel. I got quite excited when I read the passage I quote on Serendib, thinking it was an anticipation of the themes of Bleak House. Then I discovered that Bleak House was published in 1852-3 and A Tale of Two Cities in 1859.
