] I know that it is the smallest of points, but it has puzzled me nonetheless. --Barry
Barry, as long as we are pondering small points, why does she sometimes refer to places as ----shire or such - like she's leaving out part of the name to protect the innocent or something. Was she trying to leave it up to the imagination for the reader to supply the place? She doesn't do this at all times. Obviously, we know that the Elliots have gone to Bath in Persuasion, etc. But, other times, she is elusive about places. Why? Do you know? Just something else to give me gray hair, I guess. Gayle
