Very old-fashioned, of course, but a pleasant enough read. Forster's skill is on display, even if the characters are extremely hard to relate to at this point in history. Such histrionics! Propriety sure has changed! But I think that was part of the point even then–he's contrasting “conventionality” with new thinking. It's just that thinking these days is 100 years newer.
