I wanted to talk to Simon and you after my...Sarah,<br /><br />I wanted to talk to Simon and you after my talk, but I think you left while I was answering other JASNAite's questions.<br /><br />Your post reminds me of what I did not have time to say at my talk, which is that Jane Austen ALSO took the above charade from that same 1810 charades book which was her source for both the first charade, and also Garrick's Riddle, which are quoted in Chapter 9 of Emma.<br /><br />And note that she altered the last two lines, in order to key into her secret SECOND answer more thoroughly.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for posting about my talk, I take it that you must have enjoyed it!<br /><br />Cheers, ARNIE<br />sharpelvessociety.blogspot.comArnie Perlsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720424361279466002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36119718.post-399732566324717142010-05-08T20:25:01.905-04:002010-05-08T20:25:01.905-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Arnie Perlsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720424361279466002noreply@blogger.com
