This chapter, which follows the article-writing in Chapter 39, is pretty funny to me. A nice look at how the old system of multiple newspapers might work in a tiny town.
(‘Bloomer’ is a contemporary term for a feminist, after the lady who invented bloomers. And yes, in the illustrations Miss Lucy is indeed wearing bloomers. But of course, ‘bloomer’ also still means ‘big mistake’ in British slang.)

The latest installments of Mr. Sponge will be up shortly — God willing and the crick don’t rise. However, due to poor planning on my part and the fact I’m going to have needles stuck in me tomorrow morning, I’m not going to have the latest installments of the Catechetical Lectures up first thing in the morning, either.
I apologize for the Lenten inconvenience. If it helps any, I assure you that needles make me feel very penitent.

1. Yes, I played around with the theme again.
2. WordPress.com has decided to clearly differentiate “categories” and “tags”. If you click on one of my “categories” in the left sidebar (like “Humor”), you’ll get a list of my posts (or podcasts, or audiobooks) on that subject. If you click on the same word right underneath said post, you’ll go to a page listing posts on that subject from blogs all over wordpress.com.
I think this is a pretty interesting and fun feature, as long as you realize what’s going on. So now I do, and so do you.
3. Welcome to all my new visitors! The best way to pick out all the podcasts of one book on this blog is either to use the search, or click on the category on the sidebar for it. For example, if you wanted to find all the Catechetical Lectures I’ve read so far, you could click on “The Fathers”.
You can also go to the detail page where these podcasts are hosted on archive.org; I link to it in every podcast post. There are usually multiple pages for a long book like The Catechetical Lectures. I try to have them in a logical order, also; if you find yourself on http://www.archive.org/details/CyrilJCatLects02, you can just change one number in the URL and find the first part at CyrilJCatLects01. On the details page, you can also find various other file formats derived from my original mp3, and sometimes “cover art” as well.
(On a few occasions, archive.org wouldn’t give me the next number in sequence because it was acting up. If you can’t find a detail page, use the search feature on archive.org, and it should come right up.)

The British Museum is just the place for romance, and a mummy is a great test of intimacy! Yes, love among the poor and over-educated is a geeky-splendored thing. Too bad all that talk about chopped-up body parts has to shadow the evening’s end….

By the way, if you didn’t notice, I fixed the faulty link to Chapter 6 of this book, back in #114.

I’m going for medical tests tomorrow and staying with my parents tonight, so it’ll be a lightly blogged Wednesday for the Fathers. Sorry about that.
