Though to keep on topic, I have now finished the Preface to the Third Edition of Adolphe, having traversed the author's indignation that people have assumed the novel to be autobiographical ('twas ever thus, mon ami), the feebleness of the feeble sex and the need for a new edition to counter the pirate editions with unauthorised additional material. I shall begin Adolphe tonight.
