Sometimes Jane Austen got things seriously wrong. I came across this recently in Mansfield Park:
"If Fanny would be more regular in her exercise, she would not be knocked up so soon."
Hmm. Quite the opposite.
Have been reading a remarkable book lately: Five Wounds, an illuminated novel by Jonathan Walker and Dan Hallett. I'm not going to say much more about it right now, because I'll be reviewing it (as well having a chat with Messrs Walker and Hallett) over at The View From Here very soon, but you can find out more about it on Allen & Unwin's website.
Ho hum...that's a beauty:)

ReplyDeleteIf Fanny was more regular in her exercise, she'd get knocked up a lot sooner? LOL
Happy trails.
