It goes without saying that neither of these loves is requited; in Thomas's case it's because James is straight (improbably, it takes Thomas 10 years to discover that he has a wife), and in Grace's it's because Thomas, ostensibly for her own good, has contrived to separate her from Nathan. Betrayal is, to borrow a phrase from Muriel Spark, a "big theme" in "Enlightenment," which also has a lot to say about God, goodness and celestial bodies.

Some attendees at Potter Hill Mill Dam meetings have said that because the Pawcatuck River has been designated a Wild and Scenic River by the National Park Service it would be a shame to remove the dam.

Considering the history of the bank’s service to the communities in its market area, I would have thought this would never happen.
