Silas Marner
71Worth an evening.
The gold goes and the child stays, and she is not a coin he spends.
The review
A little girl on a hearth is not a figure I will let the house spend. Silas loses his gold and finds her where the hoard was. The man who should have been her father will not claim her. Eliot wrote a book a house can read. I would wait until a child is old enough to hear that a father can refuse.
She is not a symbol he can spend. She is the life that replaces the coins. Weaving is his work, and the gold was what he kept instead of people. After the theft, what he has is her. The real father's refusal is the part that stayed with me once the missing money was already obvious.

The glance
Piety is the thin one.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
