Love that black nightgown, although I've never seen one -- but that hairdo outdoes the nightgown. <br /><br />And that hat in the bottom photo outdoes eveything else. I bet hats like that led to tripping and falling down in the street. How could one hold it up? Have balance? See a curb?<br /><br />My reading life differs from so many of yours. I went from reading Nancy Drew and Louisa May Alcott right to Upton Sinclair, then Theodore Dreiser, Somerset Maugham and Arthur Conan Doyle and I skipped a lot of writers. I did read some Agatha Christie, Josephine Tey and Dorothy Sayers in those high school years though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-80245054974787241012015-08-03T12:21:26.478+01:002015-08-03T12:21:26.478+01:00Thanks for making me laugh!

The rest is very funny. Written in the 30s, set about 1910, so Aunt E's heyday was circa the 1850s. I like the little old lady whose grand relatives are all safely in the cemetery.

Three Petticoats! Black nightgowns! Mourning crape for 25 years! That's just too much! I honestly haven't thought of this set of stories in forever, so I'm glad you highlighted this one. The stories do get a cloying at times, but then there are funny bits, too, and I think it's a great look at life in that particualr place. *Giggle,, giggle* *Discreet cough* Sorry, still chuckling about the petticoats ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
