Opening Sentence of the Day: Where Angels Fear to Tread



"They were all at Charing Cross to see Lilia off --  Philip, Harriet, Irma, Mrs. Harrington herself."

-- Where Angels Fear to Tread by E. M. Forster

I'm a Forster fan, but I have never read this and I have never seen the movie.  I don't really like movie tie-in covers, but that's the edition I ended up with. I don't even remember where I got it, it has been on my TBR shelf for so long.

WAFtT is on the Radcliffe Top 100 list. I am trying to concentrate on this list more than others because I only have 15 to go (if I count the last two volumes of The Lord of the Rings as two separate items on the list, which I do).

    I have never read this either. It is a shame, all of the books that we miss just because they aren't the 'in' books right now.

    I've never read this one, but I'm definitely still feeling E.M. love from reading Howards End last year.

    Is there maybe a "see" missing there?
