Question on --shire? What is it?
Posted by Shelly on November 23, 1997 at 12:52:36:
Often when mentioning the militia quartered in Meryton, they are referred to as '--shire'. What was the meaning of that? Specifically why the dashes or lines before?
This has puzzled me and my mother (first time reader)
Thanks
