Damn that was a quick review, thanks Movie Goer. I was actually just making fun of literary literature and that kind of novel and I hope I did a good job of being completely absurd.

This was what Mr. Chuzzlewit thought as he looked upon his wife of thirty seven years. She had aged in that time. Not like an ancient old house that had gone uncared for, but like a wife who's husband cheated on her with a sultry hispanic groundskeeper.
Obviously.

At first I was worried that it was going to be overly descriptive and boring, but by the end of the first sentence I realised that it was overly descriptive and funny. Though my favourite part was when he let slip Pedro's name.

Haha, I haven't read such an entertaining bastardization of the English language in ages! Jolly good show, old chap. It's like if the Victorian writers got high before they wrote instead of drunk. Keep up the work, and I'll try to sneak in a Chuzzlewit soon, I think.

I'm really glad you all liked it, it was kind of out there I know, but I just wanted to make something utterly nonsensical out of those old novels like Lady Chatterley's Lover and Howard's End etc etc. I had the most fun doing the metaphors that tended to wander completely off track. I really wanted to use "hair as long as a small boat" (from "In The House of Gerard Depardieu) but I decided against it.
