- Early Collins, before he learned restraint, and honestly that's the fun: a young man secretly marries a shopkeeper's daughter he saw once on an omnibus, and everything curdles from there. If you like your Victorian melodrama feverish and a bit unhinged, this scratches that itch.
- Mr. Crawley, a proud, half-broken country curate accused of stealing a twenty-pound cheque, is one of the most painfully real people Trollope ever wrote, and you'll ache for him. It's long and unhurried, but if you like character over plot, this rewards every page.
