Discovered in a random #usedBookStore on #VancouverIsland: "Lisette", by Eglanton Thorne and published by The Religious Tract Society, London, some time before 1890 (probably printed 1889)

A simplistic morality tale set in earlier 19th century France. The story is not the point, but rather what it says about the late-19th century English and how they viewed their world and their place in it.

Misty, early afternoon hike through the forest to the beach, on a rainy day. There was no one else on the trails. The beach was all foggy & isolated.

Anyone with more #BritishColumbia #GovernmentofCanada #legalities on this private medical clinic in #VictoriaBC that I was alerted about today?
Alerted by a friend who was told by her family physician that if she wanted to remain a patient that she needs to pay $1500 first.
That sounds illegal & in violation of federal health act.

Can anyone in BC please tell me more about legalities of this??
