Sure, but... Written by Reeba (9/21/2010 1:53 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, racy stuff, penned by Bridget D

they aren't as explicit or as smutty, or coarse or crude are they? :-)

'Alcoholic, illicit/ illegitimate children etc aren't smutty or crude words.

In addition, I'm not sure if the word 'rear' had yet acquired this meaning.

I've begun to repeat myself now,:-)
...that knowledge of things is not what I'm not accepting, its a public use of it which would be very unladylike considering how she didn't use her name as the author, and in this very book Lovers' Vows is being rejected by some as not being decent while others saying they would remove the objectionable parts (which aren't as explicit or crude/coarse).
