by Oliver Goldsmith
Every now and then there’s nothing like a good classic. (Groucho Marx voice:) And this is nothing like a good classic!
It’s wild and crazy. Fortunes are lost, houses burn down, reputations are ruined, ruffians roughhouse, people come back from the dead, and digressions digress a la galore. The vicar has six lovely children, two of them marriageable daughters. At heart, it is a classic Marriage Plot; and that’s OK by me.
