“It's the year of H. Ryder Haggard's book. She, you know, Lord Salisbury gave what the cabinet gave.”
Sentiment: Critical Analysis
Trigger: Cultural commentary on celebrity
For: Readers interested in cultural criticism and historical context
Key quote: “Any institution that has to suck up to Grace Jones and Paul McCartney to get down with the kids has plainly lost the will to live.”
