I love that scene with Eleanor and Mr. Slope at the garden party. I hope the voters turn Kerry out with the same vehemence that Mrs. Proudie used with Mr. Slope.
I never could figure out why Eleanor would have married John Bold in the first place. (I don't think Mr. Trollope had fully thought out his characters when he wrote The Warden, and as the chronicles grew they probably surprised him a little bit.) At least she redeemed herself by marrying Dean Arabin.

John Bold was impetuous, ambitious and naive. I don't think he was mean or bad. He was good-looking and loved Eleanor.
"The Warden" is probably the most exasperating of the church novels, for me, anyway. My husband won't hear any criticism of any of the novels.
