Hilary Mantel Quotes

Thomas Cromwell Is Now About Fifty Years Old. He Has A Labourer's Body, Stocky, Useful, Running To Fat. He Has Black Hair, Greying Now, And Because Of His Impermeable Skin, Which Seems Designed To Resist Rain As Well As Sun, People Sneer That His Father Was An Irishman, Though Really He Was A Brewer And A Blacksmith At Putney, A Shearsman Too, A Man With A Finger In Every Pie, A Scrapper And A Brawler, A Drunk And A Bully, A Man Often Hauled Before The Justices For Punching Someone, For Cheating Someone. How The Son Of Such A Man Has Achieved His Present Eminence Is A Question All Europe Asks.
