Excuses, Excuses. Modern biographers have so grossly exploited the unseemly side of Victorian life that Millais and the Ruskins might be expected to emerge as just one more post-Freudian snigger at the sexual vagaries of yesteryear.

More irritating, 90 percent of the mechanics involving a crucial roll of film (and far be it for me to spoil) everything...
