Daily Dose

From Tom Jones, by Henry Fielding

TO SAY THE TRUTH

"To say the truth, these soporific parts are so many scenes of serious artfully interwoven, in order to contrast and set off the rest; and this is the true meaning of a late facetious writer, who told the public that whenever he was dull they might be assured there was design in it."

From Book V. Chapter One
