“Outside Styx's apartment was not the first time
Rochester and I had met, or would it be the last.
We first encountered each other at Haworth House in
Yorkshire when my mind was young and the
barrier between reality and make-believe had not
yet hardened into the shell that cocoons us in adult
life. The barrier was soft, pliable and, for a moment,
thanks to the kindness of a stranger and the power
of a good storytelling voice, I made
the short journey--and returned.”
~ Jasper Fforde, The Eyre Affair
