My bedtime reading at the moment (and I suspect for several months to come, due to my somewhat plodding reading speed) is Roy Jenkin's Gladstone. A note by Jenkins against a quote from Gladstone on page 32 caused me to chuckle:
There then follow nine balancing subordinate clauses of a convolution which make the net effect almost impossible to follow.
Remind you of anyone?
