Recently I quoted from The Woman in White, a novel by Wilkie Collins. First, I chose six words, followed by six phrases, and finally six sentences. Some of you might have thought I lost it. However, the project had more do with what was permissible than with any issue related to my sanity.
I am currently reading this novel by Collins. Years ago I read The Moonstone by the same author. Collins uses a similar technique in moving the narrative forward in both novels: he has the characters tell the story by quoting their own words found in their diaries.
