Rereading a classic by Charles Dickens after several decades, I came across this paragraph:
“The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself. There is no other principle distinctly, certainly and consistently maintained through all its narrow turnings. Viewed by this light it becomes a coherent scheme, and not the monstrous make the laity are apt to think it. Let them all but once clearly perceive that its grand principle is to make business for itself at their expense, and surely they will cease to grumble.”
Now why did I keep reading those words over and over again?
