mylodonHave just begun to read E M Forster's 'The Longest Journey' and blow me down, isn't there a character called Hornblower (a college undergraduate). Happy days...
I quote:
"He's trying to like Hornblower."
The others gave shrill agonised cries.
"He wants to bind the college together. He wants to link us to the beefy set."
"I do like Hornblower,"* he protested. "I don't try."
"And Hornblower tried to like you."
"That part doesn't matter."
*Mylodon's note - this is not Archie talking.
