Poor Richard Written by Bridget D (10/7/2011 6:49 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Puzzled by Poor Richard., penned by Rachel G

I think it was more Austne's being rather vicious in her humour...Possibly Dick was a dimwitted and not very satisfactory selfish young lout, but I sitll think htat his uncritical and affectionate mother woudl have cared for him, even if it was a relief in some ways to have him at sea...
