I just don't know.<br /><br />I NOTICED THIS TOO! He definitely used incorrect grammar a few times, too. I suppose it's easier to make yourself sound impressive when you're the one narrating...<br /><br />Oh, the Ezra quotes make me all weepy again. POOR EZRA! If his grave wasn't unmarked (and he wasn't, you know, fictional) we could all go give him lots of posthumous affection through flower bouquets and such.Raynahttp://twitter.com/libereadingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252631163414371464.post-50782303068670676332012-08-29T15:44:35.117-07:002012-08-29T15:44:35.117-07:00But didn't Wilkie make a point that Godfrey le...But didn't Wilkie make a point that Godfrey left all that stuff - paid for free-and-clear - to the trollop(e) with the bustle?
