Praise and censure Written by Line (4/16/2010 2:54 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Doesn't deserve such praise..., penned by Barbara

Yes, but I always thought "praise" applied to the first half of Caroline's comment (she is a great reader) and "censure" to the second (no interest in anything else). Now I believe that *Caroline* meant both parts as "censure", but Elizabeth deftly managed to turn the first into "praise"!

Good point about the card-playing!
