Another excerpt of beautiul writing from Alice Munro:
‘All the time he was talking, Lydia was trying to think what his conversational style reminded her of. It didn’t remind her of any special person, though she might have had one or two teachers at college who talked like that. What it made her think of was a time when a few people,just a few people, had never concerned themselves with being democratic, or ingratiating, in their speech: they spoke in formal, well-thought-out, slightly self-congratulating sentences, though they lived in a country where their formality, their pedantry, could bring them nothing but mockery.
