   Annotations:

   • Builds hope for Bradshaw
3. "rest, rest, rest; a long rest in bed"

   Annotations:

   • repetition emphasises monotony and extreme boredom of such a 'cure'. Also shows how he is actually clutching at straws; repeating one idea because he can think of nothing else
   • "rest in solitude; silence and rest; rest without friends, without books, without messages; six months' rest; until a man who went in weighing seven stone six comes out weighing twelve"

6. "secluded [England's] lunatics, forbade child-birth, penalized despair, made it impossible for the unfit to propagate their views until they, too, shared his sense of proportion"

2. Lady Bradshaw: "took photographs, which were scarcely to be distinguished from the work of professionals, while she waited."
3. "the slow sinking, water-logged, of her will into his"
4. "she cramped, squeezed, pared, pruned, drew back, peeped through"
5. "It was vaguely flattering to them all. He had come back, battered, unsuccessful, to their secure shores"
6. "[Richard] meant, whenever he had a moment of leisure, to write a history of Lady Bruton's family"
7. "He liked continuity; and the sense of handing on the traditions of the past"

1. "how detestable"
2. "would destroy that, whatever it was, the privacy of the soul"
3. "here was one room; there another. Did religion solve that, or love?"
