There's a splendid book called "Lark Rise to Candleford" by a woman named Flora Thompson who grew up in a farming hamlet in Oxfordshire in the 1880s and 1890s--it's a fascinating view of life among farm laborers in that time. I've been meaning to write here about it--maybe the time has come.Marissa Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248406475808085694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-70872748201083395962009-08-20T14:52:39.110-04:002009-08-20T14:52:39.110-04:00Fun post!

I wonder if girls of lower classes had opportunities for sports.<br /><br />And what was that line from the Gwyneth Paltrow version of "Emma"? When she's doing archery with Mr. Knightly? I think it was: "Don't kill my dogs."
