Jack Pierson, Melancholia Passing into Madness, 2006
from Less Than Angels (1955) . . .
"They were soon absorbed in the play, for it was about people like themselves, being an adaptation of a well-known stage success. After a while both the sisters realized they had seen it before, but neither could remember exactly how it ended. So life seemed to go round in a circle, with tables hurtling through the air."

Well, you know how I feel about Ms. Pym!
Why yes, I do. This is my first time reading this one. So very good. Barbara Pym RULES!!! And that end of the para with "So life seemed to go round in a circle, with tables hurtling through the air." So out of the blue. So suddenly caustic.
this was the second one i read, i think, i loaned it to someone and never got it back, but i quickly replaced it so i can own it again.
