Ps - I also read some 17th C. British stuff but, man, that time is too far gone. Like a lot of the jokes were totally lost on me b/c they were jokes of the time; like today. Like if you tried to show an episode of saturday night live to an audience 200 years in the future they wouldn't get it, either, unless they knew all the history about the time and could get the references. Like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin- that is some funny shit but in 200 years hardly anyone will recall Sarah Palin or get why Tina Fey was so funny about her.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her. —James Barrie Wimminfolk they be tricksy. - ZenGum
