Sample text

But in Mrs. Oliphant's life disaster never repeated itself exactly; the repetitive element was marked and dominant, but in each of the recurrences there was an important variation. Her husband and her daughter died in the same place, but not of the same disease, nor at the same pace. Her son was attacked by the same disease that had taken her husband; but she learned of her son's plight not on the Continent but at home. In fiction, also, the rhythmic arrangements that move us most are those like Thackeray's and Bennett's and James's where repetition 30 RHYTHM IN THE NOVEL is enveloped in variations, but never so enveloped that it appears subordinate.

Bennett manages a most moving and troubling effect, in which our memories of the earlier incidents in this series jostle with our impressions of the page we read.
