Rex Gordon: I was told it was so the gentleman could draw his sword, should the need arise. Presumably there were no left handed gentlemen...

Should we give Pembleton the benefit of the doubt? Sam is accusing him of the sorts of thoughts he (Sam) himself has.

A pity Elizabeth wasn’t taken to the ball. I wonder what she said when she found out Sam had gone without her?

I think ‘give over’ nowadays is an exclamation as in the song Come Outside quoted by H Ayers above. The meaning is ‘stop mucking/larking/messing about’. You wouldn’t use it to tell a workman to stop the job he was doing. At least not where I’m living (south east England). But I’m happy to be corrected!

Confused! Went to the theatre, then the stationers then to the theatre again. I wish SP would keep a logical sequence.

Maybe I’ve missed something but last year SP seemed to be getting money right left and and centre and thankful for his riches. Now he is worrying about having to cut back. What’s happened to all the money? Or is he only concerned because he had to spend money on Elizabeth?

Such a pity the Hudson review is no longer available.

Will’s hat: could it simply be that he was cold? After all, it is October and no central heating...

Early social distancing, although it wasn’t compulsory for them!
