The Aspern Papers: Part 2

by Henry James

'I can... arrive at the papers only by putting her off her guard, and I can put her off her guard only by ingratiating diplomatic practices. Hypocrisy, duplicity are my only chance. I am sorry for it, but for Jeffrey Aspern's sake I would do worse still.'

(Repeated: Tuesday 3.5 pm)
(Starting next Sunday: Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence)
