“Far cry from the overbearing people who thought they had a right to invade every sector of your life whenever you stumbled into their classroom after staying up half the night worried sick about where your father was,” Kaija said, her vendetta against the government school system evaporating when Professor Kotkaniemi entered and cleared her throat.”

When I turn the corner into a small, quiet, leafy square, am I really seeing it fresh, or am I both looking and remembering? [...] This is both the beauty and excitement of London, and its cross to bear, too. There is a tendency for visitors to turn the place into a theme park, the Disney World of social class, innate dignity, crooked streets, and grand houses, with a cavalcade of monarchs as varied and cartoony as Mickey Mouse, Snow White, and, at least in the opinion of various Briths broadhseets, Goofy. They come, not to see what London is, or even what it was, but to confirm a kind of picture-postcard view of both, all red telephone kiosks and fog-wreathed alleyways.”
