"To death and divorce, then," he says, "which are forever." "And marriage," I say, clinking my drink to his and nodding at Brian, "which is not."

then Brian gets up and bows " tonight was lovely my dear hope we can meet again sometime soon" he says as he trips over the table leg, causing his face to go smashing into the concrete. I just stared in disbelief. How could one be so clumsy? He gets up and brushes his knees off. " I should go now" he says as he trips a few more times on the way out the door. Not only that but he didn't pay for dinner. People these days.

ian mortimer in his book "the time traveller's guide to elizabethan england" uses a narrative in his style, which successfully conveys a clear description of the life in england in the 16th century. he writes in second person, which makes it comfortable to reader and easy to understand, he captures the readers attention with views of the landscape, the streets, the people including rich and poor. he also depicts some cultural traits from how people behave, eat or what they wear. his descriptions range from the social, economical, the political power to the examples of the life of common people. it could be tell that this book is about social history rather than a   novel.
