A Slip under the Microscope by H.G. Wells

5.0

What an absolute masterpiece of fantastic writing. Its something you cannot put down. A slip under the microscope, what a fantastic piece of writing. "Memories are not dead things, but alive; they dwindle in disuse, but they harden and develop in all sorts of queer ways if they are being continually fretted." What a charming way to put something we all experience daily. Memories, those things we constantly tinker with, which do harden when we go over and over the many things we do in our life. This is about life, about us, about you. It's about what we all go through our regrets. Mr Hill, a character after everyone's heart, a poor boy who worked himself up and joined the ranks of Cambridge, stuck against the likes of the Wetherbes of this world.

Mr Hill, you honest man. It's quite sure Wetherbes cheated again, but the rich cheat and lie and the poor don't cheat and own up. That's why ones one and the others the other.
