For a moment there I thought you meant J P Hartley, but had substitued JRR (from Tolkien), in the place of J P, and I was desperately trying to think whether the Go-Between (By JP Hartley) was set in any of the shires. I then thought you meant JRR Tolkien, and was trying to seach for any of this books that were set in the English Shires, knowing that Hobbiton and the Shire was an allegory anyway, then I remembered about JRR Hartley and the Yellow Pages advert, as I was loading a yellow t-shirt in to the washing machine. LOL!
It's been a strange weekend !
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Nah....just having one of my over-complication moments.
