Valley of the Dolls?

badgoodDeb · 09-20-2012, 04:48 PM

Something along the lines of "How to Write a Romance Novel" ?

Still not even close! Are your minds in the gutter?

“The word "education" comes from the root e from ex, out, and duco, I lead. It means a leading out. To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul.”

Of course it is! Should have got it from the first quote.

pdurrant · 09-21-2012, 07:16 AM

I'll wait for confirmation, but I suppose I should start thinking of a book to quote from!

Shame on you folk whose minds dove into the gutter!

[Just read over the quotes again - using Maggie Smith's voice in your head!]

[For those folk who were embarrassed by the 6" quote - it described the correct distance that a window should be left open to adequately ventilate a room. What did YOU think it referred to?]

Take it away Sir Mouse!

Heels, definitely heels.

OK, here we go.

"May 19.... Something very agreeable and with which I was greatly pleased happened this evening. It gave me much secret pleasure and satisfaction."

pdurrant · 09-21-2012, 03:33 PM

Here's some more.

"1778 Jan 6. We breakfasted, dined, supped and slept again at home. Sukey's sister breakfasted here, and then went home. I did not speak one word to her, as she came unasked. Bill went out shooting again this morning and he brought home only 4 Blackbirds. Gave Bill this evening for powder and shot 2/6."

More tomorrow!

Sounds very familiar. The Journal of John Woolman?

poohbear_nc · 09-21-2012, 05:46 PM

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin?
