I missed #WeirdWordWednesday ! My son is visiting from Oregon so my normal routine has been thrown to the winds. Anyway, I ran across this gem in the tagged book and found it fitting for this challenge. #WeirdWords

“England expects that every man will do his duty” Lord Nelson‘s signal at the Battle of Trafalgar 1805
Cherry just wants a proposal. 😆

Found this illustration of the funniest scene in the book. #whattheDickens
“[S]o neatly brought their own boat in the gentlest collision with the bark of Mr Sparkler, as to tip that gentleman over like a larger species of ninepin, and cause him to exhibit the soles of his shoes to the object of his dearest wishes: while the nobler portions of his anatomy struggled at the bottom of his boat in the arms of one of his men.”
I bought this gorgeous set of books last weekend (smelling of old books). The new owner of the shop hopes to get more of these editions from a man who is hoping his books go to a good home. I think these may replace my Oxford editions, which daughter has said she‘ll take.
Sadly I haven‘t been able to fit in the tagged book for #whattheDickens. Too many other book challenges. But I‘m looking forward to next month‘s book, The Old Curiosity Shop.
1801- I have just returned from a visit to my landlord— the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with. This is certainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society.
