The Small House at Allington by Anthony Trollope
4.0

Another excellent story by Anthony Trollope although I have to admit the novel felt unfinished.
I was constantly surprised how seriously people treated the breaking of an engagement.
The Victorians could certainly teach us a thing or two about law and order. When after one man hits another, the police come immediately. Furthermore, the incident is mentioned in the newspaper the next day.
