“Oh, stinginess may be abused like other virtues: it will not do to keep one’s own pigs lean”, said Mrs. Cadwallader, who had risen to look out of the window.
~ George Eliot, Middlemarch
Yes, it’s been over a year and I’m only in the middle of Middlemarch. I left it for awhile, but picking back up with this chestnut has refreshed my goal of finishing this classic.
Another on my to-read list. What a funny, funny, smart quote! Thanks!
Love the quote. Middlemarch is was a book that when I was done reading it I liked it, but in the middle of the story I couldn't say that. Good luck.
