And I've just read a book by the Appalachian writer Ron Rash who also writes in dialect which really give his stories a nice flavour.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-4177244357604260072013-03-23T11:27:50.179+00:002013-03-23T11:27:50.179+00:00Aprille

Since when, I've come across it on one other occasion.<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />Ah, glad the dialect bit didn't put you off. Thanks for saying.<br /><br /><b>Claudia </b><br />Mmm, the carpet going right under the bed was not so unusual back then, before fitted carpets became almost universal.<br /><br /><b>The Weaver of Grass </b><br />Ah, yes, life would have been less colourful without them!<br /><br /><b>Rachna </b><br />Much thanks.<br /><br /><b>Anonymous </b><br />Thanks for this. I don't know what happened. They left school and we lost contact.<br /><br /><b>rumoursofrhyme </b><br />Nay! Why you ask?<br />Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I can't say I have thought of doing so, no.<br /><br /><b>Heaven </b><br />Very heartening to hear this. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso </b><br />Thanks Tommaso, such an interesting comment. Rough and vibrant would certainly describe my "laddie".<br /><br /><b>rowantaw </b><br />Much thanks for the compliment.<br /><br /><b>Mary </b><br />Thanks, very pleasing to hear.<br /><br /><b>Elephant's Child </b><br />Yeah, thinking of this couple, I do sometimes wonder if some of the marriage breakups we hear about, are simply coming to the end of their agreed terms!<br /><br /><br /><br />Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-91558903273904818872013-03-23T06:23:19.842+00:002013-03-23T06:23:19.842+00:00At least our protagonist doesn't plan to (or a...At least our protagonist doesn't plan to (or admit to planning to) send Ellie out to make a fortune f***ing.
