Commonplace Book

"Truly it is an excellent thing to be able to put down one's opinions on paper as they occur to one without risk of irritating interruption - I hope my hearers will not interrupt at the reading aloud - and now that I have at last begun to write a book - for years I have intended doing so - I see clearly the superiority of writing over speaking. It is the same kind of superiority that the pulpit enjoys over the (very properly) muzzled pews..."

from The Caravaners by 'Elizabeth' (Chapter II)
