I never did figure out what that part had to do with the story! I think you will like North and South. Mary Barton is good too, but lacking some of the polish, as I think it was her first novel.

Less keen on Lady Ludlow. Having just enjoyed her biog of Charlotte Bronte, I keep thinking I ought to read more Gaskell but I'm not sure whether I want to tackle the 'industrial' novels Mary Barton and North and South.
