Wow, these are great! Pretty amazing to see that suffragette footage. Take heart, for Mrs. Pankhurst has been clapped in irons again!comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127634-4957377Thu, 02 May 2013 19:15:17 -0800SublimityBy: Joh

I loved Charley In New Town, because I grew up in a New Town, and my Dad worked for the Commission for the New Towns, so my childhood was steeped in the history of the new Towns movement. I was also amused at hearing posh luvvies putting on working class accents, rather unsuccessfully.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.127634-4957541Thu, 02 May 2013 22:12:06 -0800Joh
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
