I've suffered with the AZ Cardinals since the 80s. After yesterday's fiasco, I am done. Maybe. Damn.

TheBookHippie As a Cubs fan I sympathize… 1mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie They just tied the game!

I loved teaching this play at this time of year.

Theism states that
Divine Providence saves you.
No wonder they turned.

“I considered the northern white stance against slavery. How much of the desire to end the institution was fueled by a need to quell and subdue white guilt and pain? Was it just too much to watch? [. . .] I knew that whatever the cause of their war, freeing slaves was an incidental premise and would be an incidental result.” (286) #truth

5. A Chaucer reference! Nancy makes note that she learned to read Middle English, as she read Chaucer. I was amazed at this.

The other quirky element I wanted to mention was Salty, who I dearly wish we see again, and his clam song. I think I actually giggled when I read his lyrics. Something about a door-to-door clam salesman does make me wonder about product safety...

Were there any elements that surprised you or made you giggle? #NancyDrewBR

Bookwormjillk The Chaucer thing definitely made me laugh. 3mo
CogsOfEncouragement This might not be exactly what you are looking for, but the “lucky we wore jeans” is really something. The Hardy Boys get to wear pants for every adventure. Nancy, George, and Bess are usually doing all this in skirts, hosiery, and possibly kitten heels. 3mo
BarkingMadRead I loved Salty! I also loved the secret clue in the castle, very creative! 3mo

dabbe As someone who taught a few of the CANTERBURY TALES to my sophomore honors students, not ONE of them became an avid reader of Middle English, so I really had to suspend my disbelief on that one.

The fake Juliana is exposed because her feet are too big, like Cinderella's stepsisters. Nancy literally stares at the woman‘s shoes to solve the case: no DNA tests, just “Nope, those feet are definitely not ballet material!“ 😂

DGRachel I‘d forgotten about the jeans conversation, but I did laugh at that. I just remember thinking “of course she translates Middle English” 🙄. Random side note, for one of the requirements for my English Lit degree I had to choose between Shakespeare Studies or an entire semester spent reading Chaucer in Middle English. I chose Shakespeare and have never regretted that decision. 😂 3mo
DGRachel @Librarybelle product safety! 😂😂 3mo
DebinHawaii Yes, I worried about the safety of eating those mollusks quite a lot even while appreciating Salty. And of course Nancy studies Middle English! (Do you think she can tap dance it out too?) 🤪 3mo
kwmg40 Nancy knowing how to read Middle English did seem amazing. That girl can do anything! 3mo
Librarybelle OMG, @DebinHawaii ! She might be able to—such a talented girl is our Nancy! 😂 I forgot about the jeans observation, @CogsOfEncouragement , but you‘re right! I‘m all for trying Chaucer in Middle English, but probably not when I was 18. 😂 @Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead @dabbe @DGRachel @kwmg40 3mo
Ruthiella Nancy knowing enough Middle English to translate sure made me laugh! 😂 3mo
MariaW I took an Old English class once at university, even got the dictionary and everything- still I am not fluent. 🤦‍♀️ And Bess just had to put her head over the wall and the dogs would start barking, she definitely must be a cat person. 😂 2mo
Librarybelle @MariaW 😂 That‘s so funny! 2mo
