Dolly Dialogues is a book written by Anthony Hope. Humorous dialogues of the flippant bachelor Carter with his flirtatious friend Dolly and other acquaintances. Good practice for modern readers in picking up implication in Victorian writing, as the large gaps make it clear where the reader is meant to fill in something that isn't being...
