Excerpt from Revolving Lights Now that, she quoted, to counter the fore most attack, is a man who can be trusted to say what he thinks. That cloaked her before the clamorous silence. She was an observant intelligent woman ap proved. He would never imagine that the hurriedly borrowed words meant, to her, nothing but a shadow of doubt cast across the earnest little socialist.

[Revolving Lights] by [[Dorothy Richardson]]
The 7th novel in Richardson's [Pilgrimage] left me a little cold. I feel like I really should have started a character list at the beginning of reading this book. There were several characters who return after absences and I had a hard time putting them in context.

The main action is this book is a vacation to visit Miriam's boarding school friend, Alma. There she meets a man named Hypo and slowly grows closer to him. There are some great moments, including the group deciding to sleep under the stars, and some philosophical discussions, often about the differing roles of men and women. Miriam also continues with her writing, branching out from translating. And the ending was intriguing - a note from Hypo asking "when can I see you? Just to talk."

After writing this, I visited my trusted (only) source I've found for any sort of commentary on [Pilgrimage] and I found that Hypo is actually married to Alma and is H.G. Wells. So now I know!
