This striped bustle dress in startling red first made a splash in 2002 on Romola Garai as husband-hunting Gwendolen Harleth in Daniel Deronda.
A full 22 years later, it turned up again on newly empowered, if somewhat troublesomely married, Clara Trenchard, played by Harriet Slater in 2024’s Belgravia—The Next Chapter.

Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of of those who diffuse it: it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker.

‘For my part,’ said Deronda, ‘people who do anything finely always inspire me to try. I don’t mean that they make me believe I can do it well. But they make the thing, whatever it may be, seem worthy to be done. I can bear to think my own music not good for much, but the world would be more dismal if I thought music itself not good for much. Excellence encourages one about life generally; it shows the spiritual wealth of the world.’
‘But then if we can’t imitate it? — it only makes our own life seem tamer,’ said Gwendolyn, in a mood to resent encouragement founded on her own insignificance.
‘That depends on the point of view, I think,’ said Deronda. ‘We should have a poor life of it if we were reduced for all our pleasure to our own performances. A little private imitation of what is good is a sort of private devotion to it, and most of us ought to practice art only in the light of private study — preparation to understand and enjoy what the few can do for us.’
George Eliot, Daniel Deronda

“I have given a great deal of time to music, but I haven’t the talent to make it worthwhile. But if you’re fond of music - I shall never sing again.”

“I wonder how girls manage to fall in love. It is easy to make them do it in books. But men are too ridiculous.”

Time Period for "DANIEL DERONDA"
Recently, I discovered that the BBC had aired two adaptations of George Eliot's 1876 novel, "Daniel Deronda". One was a four-part miniseries that aired in 2002 and starred Hugh Dancy and Romola Garai. The lesser known production had been a six-part miniseries that aired in 1970 and starred John Nolan and Martha Henry.
The ironic thing is that both adaptations were set during the early-to-mid 1870s. Yes, I know that the novel had been published in 1876. But . . . Eliot's novel was set during the mid-1860s - 1864 to 1866/67. Didn't the producers of both miniseries realized this when they were made?

"You know nothing about Hope, that immortal, delicious maiden forever courted forever propitious, whom fools have called deceitful, as if it were Hope that carried the cup of disappointment, whereas it is her deadly enemy, Certainty, whom she only escapes by transformation."
--GEORGE ELIOT, Daniel Deronda
[Rebecca Solnit]
