And she liked to play cricket Written by Elbè (3/1/2009 10:40 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Heroines, penned by Laraine

I was so glad when I read that - having been a cricket girl myself and being jeered at for not being girlish enough because it. Seems there is hope for me yet :)

Yes, oh dear her drawing must be very bad! I laughed out loud at this: Her taste for drawing was not superior; though whenever she could obtain the outside of a letter from her mother or seize upon any other odd piece of paper, she did what she could in that way, by drawing houses and trees, hens and chickens, all very much like one another. LOL - I wonder how a house and a chicken could ever be made to look the same.

and Her greatest deficiency was in the pencil — she had no notion of drawing — not enough even to attempt a sketch of her lover’s profile, that she might be detected in the design.

I must say I like Catherine thus far. Although she is young and lacks experience, being privy to her thoughts, one can see that she has a natural tendency to sense.
