In Medias Res

After Castle Rackrent, Ennui, and The Absentee, I've one-hundred pages left in Maria Edgeworth's Ormond (1817), the tale of an Irish gentleman (I hesitate to use the word) as he comes into his fortune during the late eighteenth-century.  I've been reading now for just over two weeks and, as the silence on this blog would indicate, they've been two remarkably busy weeks.
