“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
