Jacob (jacobvictorfisher) | 112 comments Each quote is found at the end of a paragraph. These quotes are from the Penguin edition (this volume is translated by Ian Patterson). I don’t have the MKE translation of this volume so when I had the option I tried to choose quotes that included a proper noun or chapter break. After each quote I cite the approximate page percentage of the line. The percentage is of the text ISoLT only, excluding introductions and prefaces, end notes and summaries. This is only the text of Finding Time Again. NB: Those reading the MKE or other translations should take special care near the beginning of this volume. The final volumes are divided differently by different translators. Each week's reading is also a few pages longer (about 10%) then our normal count.

"And he who, out of opposition to the Courvoisiers, had made such bold overtures towards art, had not the least idea that what would have made somebody like Bergotte most interested in him was his kinship with the whole of the old Faubourg, and his capacity to describe to him the almost provincial life led by his femal cousins, from the rue de la Chaise to the place du Palais-Bourbon and the rue Garancière" (~19.94%).

November 28
"Soon the anti-aircraft barrage started up with such intensity that we realized that the German aeroplane's position was very close, just above our heads" (~39.88%).

December 5
"That girl with the very deep-set eyes and the drawling voice, is she here? And if she really does repose here, then do we any longer know in what part, or how to find her underneath the flowers" (~59.82%)?

"...and I consoled myself, like a shop-keeper whose book-keeping has become muddled, by confusing the value of having them there with the price my desire had once put on them" (~80.06%).
