My Idea Finalised!

This is my favourite passgae in the book as it sets the scene so well, so i have chosen this passage to feature on my main page. By the time I had arrived at the end of the road I had become completely absorbed in my own fanciful visions of Limmeridge House, of Mr Fairlie, and of the two ladies whose practice in the art of water-colour painting I was so soon to superintend. I had now arrived at that particular point of my walk where four roads met -- the road to Hampstead, along which I had returned, the road to Finchley, the road to West End, and the road back to London. I had mechanically turned in this latter direction, and was strolling along the lonely high-road -- idly wondering, I remember, what the Cumberland young ladies would look like -- when, in one moment, every drop of blood in my body was brought to a stop by the touch of a hand laid lightly and suddenly on my shoulder from behind me. I turned on the instant, with my fingers tightening round the handle of my stick. There, in the middle of the broad, bright high-road -- there, as If it had that moment sprung out of the earth or dropped from the heaven -- stood the figure of a solitary Woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments, her face bent in grave inquiry on mine, her hand pointing to the dark cloud over London, as I faced her.' I will then include an option to post images onto the website that the user feels describes what is happening, there will also be a link to a forum - the user will have to become a member first to ensure what is posted isnt offensive or explicit, but once registered they can post content whenever they want to. The information on the authors page will be quite basic but good enough for the user to establish what type of like they actually lived. Although, the person who is actually using this website i suspect will have a general knowledge of the author anyway as if not why would they be searching for literary authors in the first place?
