Excerpt: ... in love with him. I refused him once, and then I married him. He was as mad for me as I had been for the other one. Yes, I married him, and we both imagined we were going to be happy.' 'And why haven't you been?' I asked. 'This is my shame, ' she said. 'I could not forget the other one. We soon found that out.' 'Did you talk about it, you-and Frank?' I put in, amazed. 'Oh no!' she said. 'It was never mentioned-never once during fifteen years. But he knew; and I knew that he knew. The other one was always between us-always, always, always! The other one was always in my heart. We did our best, both of us; but it was useless. The passion of my life was-it was invincible. I tried to love Frank. I could only like him. Fancy his position! And we were helpless. Because, you know, Frank and I are not the sort of people that go and make a scandal-at least, that was what I thought, ' she sighed. 'I know different now. Well, he died the day before yesterday.' 'Who?' 'Crettell. He had just been made a judge. He was the youngest judge on the bench-only forty-six.' 'Was that the man?' I exclaimed; for Crettell's character was well known in London. 'That was the man. Frank came in yesterday afternoon, and after he had glanced at the paper, he said: "By the way, Crettell's dead." I did not grasp it at first. He repeated: "Crettell-he's dead." I burst into tears. I couldn't help it. And, besides, I forgot. Frank asked me very roughly what I was crying for. You know, Frank has much changed these last few months. He is not as nice as he used to be. Excuse me talking like this, my dear. Something must be worrying him. Well, I said as well as I could while I was crying that the news was a shock to me. I tried to stop crying, but I couldn't. I sobbed. Frank threw down the paper and stamped on it, and he swore. He said: "I know you've always been in love with the brute, but you needn't make such a damn fuss about it." Oh, my dear, how can I tell you these...

Enoch Arnold Bennett (27 May 1867 - 27 March 1931) was an English writer. He is best known as a novelist, but he also worked in other fields such as journalism, propaganda and film Bennett was born in a modest house in Hanley in the Potteries district of Staffordshire. Hanley is one of a conurbation of six towns which were joined together at the beginning of the 20th century as Stoke-on-Trent. Enoch Bennett, his father, qualified as a solicitor in 1876, and the family moved to a larger house between Hanley and Burslem. Bennett was educated locally in Newcastle-under-Lyme. Bennett was employed by his father but the working relationship failed. Bennett found himself doing jobs such as rent-collecting which were uncongenial. He also resented the low pay; it is no accident that the theme of parental miserliness is important in his novels. In his spare time he was able to do a little journalism, but his breakthrough as a writer came after he had moved from the Potteries. At the age of 21, he left his father's practice and went to London as a solicitor's clerk.

Riceyman Steps, first published in 1923, is set in ¿dingy and sordid¿ Clerkenwell, in central London, where ¿existence was a dangerous and difficult adventure in almost frantic quest of food, drink and shelter.¿ It¿s there that Henry Earlforward runs a gloomy, dusty store full of secondhand books. He eats less and less with every day, keeps his young servant Elsie working long hours for minimal pay, and never lights a candle when darkness will do. One day he takes notice of Violet, a middle-aged widow who owns a confectionary shop nearby, and they become husband and wife soon after.It quickly becomes clear that his miserliness, his ¿grand passion and vice,¿ has rubbed off on Violet, threatening her chances at happiness just as much as his. His obsession also imperils Elsie¿s ability to help her lover Joe, who returned from World War I with shell shock, and who desperately needs her.The year it was published Riceyman Steps won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction. Its tragic tone represents a departure from many of the novels and stories Arnold Bennett set in the ¿Five Towns,¿ the fictional location inspired by his Staffordshire childhood. Instead, it reflects the pain and disappointment of the years immediately following the Great War. As Earlforward tells a customer early on, ¿We¿re not quite straight here yet. The truth is, we haven¿t been straight since 1914.¿

The Old Wives¿ Tale, considered to be one of Bennett¿s finest works, begins in the 1860s, in the industrial ¿Five Towns¿ of the English Midlands, where he set many of his partially-autobiographical stories.The novel follows the prosperous Baines family, who live above the successful clothing shop they own in the town of Bursley (based on Burslem, in Staffordshire). Even when the two Baines daughters were still young, their characters are already formed. Sophia has ¿youth, beauty, and rank in her favour,¿ while Constance is ¿foolishly good-natured,¿ with benevolence that is ¿eternally rising up and overpowering her reason.¿Their paths diverge quickly. While still in her teens, the headstrong Sophia elopes with a traveling salesman, leaving England¿s provinces for Paris. Constance, who later marries the head employee at the store, hardly ever leaves their town¿or even the square where their shop is located. As the novelist J. B. Priestley observed, this gently ironic and sprawling novel sets its ¿two suffering heroines¿ against ¿three conquering heroes, Time, Mutability, and Death.¿

There are certain men who can love a machine more passionately than they can a woman. They are some of the world's happiest guys. Observe the innovators. They often don't make their living off of invention. They have to spend their free time creating. We refer to the art of "life" as the expression of the soul via the brain and body. There is little doubt that we do not study this art to any significant degree in school. Man will have a fun half-hour reflecting on how his place in the cosmos impacts other people. The diplomat who sets up relationships between our instinctive selves and the cosmos is the brain. It challenges instincts, sides with them, and criticizes certain performances for their lack of insight. Character is and can only be the whole outcome of one's character. A person is kind because they constantly think of benevolent ideas, and they are idle because they habitually think about the momentary pleasures of being idle. Only your own thoughts are within your control. Even your two-year-old baby could challenge you due to the strength of its natural personality. But you have control over your own mind. Your own mind is a sacred space that should not be breached by anything negative.
