And as a form designed to be read over long periods of time , often in isolation , always with patience , concentration , sympathy and interest , the novel required a type of responsiveness that was at once rapt ( capable of identifying fully with the feelings of fictional characters ) and removed ( aware of itself as a reality apart from the world of the novel ) . On the night after that , and on the following night , and for many nights and days , so many that he began to be uncertain about the count of them , Oleron , courting , cajoling , neglecting , threatening , beseeching , eaten out with unappeased curiosity and regardless that his life was becoming one consuming passion and desire , continued his search for the unknown co-numerator of his abode . Earnestness , prudishness , perversity , complacency , boundless optimism and bottomless despair are all indelibly linked , in our minds , to that peculiarly conflicted abstraction , the Victorian temper ; just as the works of Dickens , Eliot , Carroll , Collins , Flaubert and Wilde all embody wildly divergent visions of that fantastically malleable animal , the Victorian novel . In his own person , Oleron began to commit this treason . Sometimes a flitting half-memory , of a novel to be written , a novel it was important that he could write , tantalised him for a space before vanishing again ; and sometimes whole novels , perfect , splendid , established to endure , rose magically before him . Why , Oleron himself had had a dust-up with him about something or other . Prouds - - Collections care , and the growing idea of taking a collective approach to collections care and storage ; museum collaborations ; the more central role that culture plays in economic group and tourism ; closer contact with policy - and decision-makers . Ah , Oleron knew ! One day , in the middle of one of these rhapsodies , Oleron sprang to his blind and pulled it down , and heard as he did so , his own name made the object of a fresh torrent of outpouring .
