100 Words About 'The Moonstone'. (I'm only on page 118.)
O you adorable little scary gossip-riddled mansion in the country!
O you spooky prologue full of murder and cursed diamonds!
O you hilarious unreliable narrator, old senior steward Gabriel Betteredge,
who loves only naps, tobacco, Robinson Crusoe, and plump wenches!
O you sad tragic suspicious deformed ex-thief servant Rosanna Spearman!
O the young lady, Miss Rachel, forced to choose between
sexy layabout cousin Franklin Blake and gallant reformer Godfrey Ablewhite!
O the yellow diamond, "the Moonstone," is stolen...or was it?
O hard-edged melancholy Sergeant Cuff, so casually unravelling it all!
O the casual racism!
O what else is in store?
