Overheard in the office...

Me: "Last night I dreamed I had a motorcycle again... In Manderley."

The dialogue can go all literary geeky in no seconds flat here at Roseholme Cottage.

George's fake company for the unemployment fraud scheme?

I think she is referencing some castle where my family is from (Cornwall). My ancestors never had motorcycles (or castle). We had fishing boats though.

the pawnbroker said...: oh yeah...vandalay.

too f'n old and brainfried to even keep brainfry content straight.

thanks a lot, s.b.

yeah, i know that tam is a new-world girl capable of myriad old-world flights of fancy gleaned from the awesome library 'tween her ears...
