Ep. 683: Cranford | Chapter 5 Book talk begins at 9:31 A mysterious stranger arrives in town, and you just know the ladies of Cranford are ready to investigate... politely, of course. --------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Episode start 01:28 2:42 Plum Deluxe . Plum Deluxe's CraftLit tea collection is here: Also, MAY RAFFLE - Sir Walter Scott Cross stitch from Rebecca S (Of Book it with Becca, who wrote the wonderful post: 04:25 Gardening! 09:30 - START BOOK TALK: Last week, the lovely Mr Holbrook and his very sad passing. 12:06 Joint- Stock bank: > A bank owned by shareholders, operating under a charter or act of Parliament, and offering services to the public. Unlike older private banks (run by individuals or families), joint-stock banks were corporations, meaning shared risk and more capital. How bank books worked— A bank book (also called a passbook) was given to bank customers to record all transactions in their account—- Every deposit and withdrawal was manually written into the book by a bank clerk. The customer's copy was their only proof of the account's balance. 14:12 Envelope usage / turning inside out (ETSY doing this NOW) Whole vs half sheet and crossed letters 16:36 STRING and Indian-rubber rings 17:24 “India-rubber” was the 19th-century term for what we now just call rubber—and India-rubber rings were small rubber loops or bands like we use today. Came from the latex of tropical trees (especially Hevea brasiliensis) 18:42 TONQUIN beans: TONKA beans: Tonka beans are the wrinkled, black seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree, native to South America. Chefs outside the US use them in desserts and to replace nuts. AND ILLEGAL in the USA since 1954 due to the presence of liver damaging “coumarin” - - and 20:54 22:43 PADUASOY: heavy, rich corded or embossed silk fabric, From French - peau de soie, a cloth resembling serge (twill fabric with diagonal lines/ridges on both inner and outer surfaces per a two-up/two-down weave.) 24:19 Bottom of page a small “T.O.” = turn over / Molly's writing is full of spelling like “Bewty” which is a subsequent joke line 25:49 Dum memor ipse Mei, dum Spiritus regift artus - Virgil, Æneid, IV.382, “While memory shall last and breath still control my limbs” 25:28 Carmen (lowercase) like CARMINA (song poem or verse) 26:54 Gentleman's Magazine 1782—Kind of an Atlantic Monthly—guess who contributed? Samuel Johnson! 27:18 M. T. Ciceroni's Epistolae: The letters of Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43BCE) Roman statesman, orator, philosopher, and writer with 800+ letters surviving Heather before recording, in garden, with skewer pack: 28:41 “Rod in a pickle” - rod, method of punishment; pickle, something preserved for future use. 29:42 Life is a vale of tears: Psalm 84:6 also, description of a helicopter parent feels marvelously modern 30:21 Mrs Chapone (1727-1801) Contributed to the Rambler AND Gentleman's Magazine and wrote “Letters on the Improvement of the Mind (1773) and Mrs Carter (1717-1806) many languages and in 1758 published first translation of Epictetus THE Stoic Philosopher. 31:32 “Before Miss Edgeworth's ‘Patronage' had banished wafers from polite society…”: Patronage was a book (1814) with a character who was offended by a letter she received that was sealed with a wafer: “I wonder how any man can have the impertinence to send me his spittle” (I, 248) 33:06 “Old original post with stamp in the corner” not exactly the right watermark, but you get the idea… 34:30 “Sesquipedalian” writing - foot and a half long sesqui = 1-½ pedalis =foot looonng polysyllabic words 35:13 Buonaparte (Bony)1805 invasion fears - In case you still need to build your own 36:55 David and Goliath, son of Jesse (I Samuel 17) Apollyon (Greek version) and Abbadon (Hebrew version) are names for an archangel In Revelation 9:11—> _“And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.” (Revelation 9:11, KJV) Meaning: Abaddon (Hebrew) means “destruction” or “place of destruction.” Apollyon (Greek) means “destroyer.” It's overblown biblical satire—calling someone “Apollyon” in Cranford is like referring to a strict schoolmarm as “Beelzebub.” 38:08 Bonus Bernardus non video omnia The Blessed Bernard does not see everything - maybe said by St Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)— This quote is often attributed (possibly apocryphally) to Peter Abelard, the 12th-century theologian, as a gentle jab at St. Bernard of Clairvaux, with whom he clashed theologically. Meaning: Even the wisest man (here, Blessed Bernard) can be wrong sometimes. Post-chapter Notes Chapone and Carter and Bluestockings (see below for big notes) real historical women writers, both part of the 18th-century English Bluestocking movement—educated, literary women who promoted female intellectualism and moral development. Gaskell is absolutely name-dropping intentionally here for Cranford's themes of domestic gentility, moral seriousness, and self-improvement. ⸻ Mrs. Hester Chapone (1727–1801) Best known for Letters on the Improvement of the Mind (1773), addressed to her niece. It was a conduct book for young women, offering advice on moral character, reading habits, and proper behavior. Hugely popular—Cranford-adjacent readers would know her by name. ⸻ Mrs. Elizabeth Carter (1717–1806) A respected scholar, translator, and poet—a genuine intellectual heavyweight. Famously translated the Discourses of Epictetus from Greek in 1758—the first English translation by a woman, and one of the first of Epictetus at all. She knew multiple classical and modern languages and was close friends with figures like Samuel Johnson and Hannah More. *CraftLit's Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9  • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: heather@craftlit.com • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023   *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON:   https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright -  $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships*  —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit  —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

How bout that, Hershall? I put the biggest word possibly that we've ever used in the title! (as well as the description of the second word.... speaking of the second word, the first word was used two times in this EPISODE. Yep, you heard (or technically read) what I said (or technically typed), it was used twice, as in 1 less that thrice (KJV word meaning 3). You likely think that I used it as some of my fancy jargon (a word meaning nothing like it sounds like it SHOULD mean), but it was actually used by 2 different reviewers- aka Hershi! Whew, I'm already tired of typing about it, so I'll just say this... we ended up talking about a portion of Acts 27 so give it all a listen if you'd like. Also, send us some feedback at devin@podnme.org (said softly and tenderly) or leave a review on Apple Podcasts... of course, if you'd like to do so... also, find us on Instagram @podn_me.  

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 26, 2021 is: sesquipedalian • sess-kwuh-puh-DAIL-yun • adjective 1 : having many syllables : long 2 : using long words Examples: Jacob's editor advised him to pare away the sesquipedalian prose he favored and opt for simpler language that would reach more readers. "For generations, college-bound kids have memorized sesquipedalian word lists and spent hours or days, if not months, mastering the theory of guessing among other test-taking tricks and gimmicks to propel them to a high score on the pivotal SAT exam." — Jill Tucker, The San Francisco Chronicle, 15 Feb. 2016 Did you know? Horace, the ancient Roman poet known for his satire, was merely being gently ironic when he cautioned young poets against using sesquipedalia verba—"words a foot and a half long"—in his book Ars poetica, a collection of maxims about writing. But in the 17th century, English literary critics decided the word sesquipedalian could be very useful for lambasting writers using unnecessarily long words. Robert Southey used it to make two jibes at once when he wrote "the verses of [16th-century English poet] Stephen Hawes are as full of barbarous sesquipedalian Latinisms, as the prose of [the 18th-century periodical] the Rambler." The Latin prefix sesqui- is used in modern English to mean "one and a half times," as in sesquicentennial (a 150th anniversary).

Why is English hard?Contranyms – words that have two opposite meaningsTransparent: can mean invisible or obvious ("I bumped into the back wall which was completely transparent,") or ("It is transparent to me that you are a liar and a rogue").Rules are inconsistent"I before e, except after c"Though not in 'neighbour' or 'weigh'HomophonesHomophones are words which sound the same but are spelt differently.mussels – a small shellfish with a soft body inside a hard black or green shell, often cooked and eaten as food;HomographsHomographs are words which spelt the same but mean somethingPresent (present a present in the present)Bat – bat ball, bat mammalCool – fashionable, hip; moderately coldInvalid – not valid; invalidClose – the door; stand back, dudeproduce (a farmer produces produce)dove bird and past tense diveHomonymspalm (the palm of your hand; a palm tree)letter (a symbol in an alphabet; a written message to someone)ruler (for measuring lengths; a king or queen)IdiomsIdioms are phrases which have a common understanding, but which in itself doesn't impart its meaning.Shoot the breeze: to talk about unimportant thingsPiece of cake: something that is easy or straightforwardDonkey's years: a long time Chew the fat: to gossip or make small talkGo pear-shaped: indicates that something has gone wrongIllogical wordsLet's face it, some words just don't make any sense:Eggplant: there aren't any eggs in an eggplantHamburger: hamburgers don't have any hamGuinea pig: guinea pigs aren't from the country of Guinea, nor are they pigs!Sweetmeats: are sweets, but sweetbreads aren't sweet and are meat!Incommunicado: means you are NOT communicating!MisnomersClosely allied to illogical words are misnomers, misnamed people, places or things:Arabic numerals: originated in India.Tin cans and tin foil: are constructed from aluminium, not tin.Danish pastries: were invented in Austria.Dry cleaning: uses a fluid called naphtha.Koala bears: are marsupials, not bears.Panama hats: originate from Ecuador, not Panama.The Peanut: is a legume, [i.e., fruit/vegetable] not a nut.Irrational collective nounsCollective nouns, apparently, are made up by strange people with a warped sense of humour.

Michael and Nick give advice on if it's ok to break up with someone who is in physical rehab for a bad accident, what to do about a kid who's full of bologna... literally, how to find the will to not eat the foods you love when they are killing your insides, how to make you boyfriend change his gross sheets, and what to do about a bad 12 year old who doesn't listen. 

Have you ever known someone that always uses massive words? They can’t help it – they love to sound smart and important. Is that same mindset valuable in the New Kingdom of Jesus?

A story of hustles and gambles within lowlife culture. Charles Farrell could be labeled a number of things: pianist, writer, boxing manager, and hustler. As a teenager, Farrell lived in the streets of Boston, playing piano in mafia-owned clubs. With a love for boxing, he started gambling on high-profile matches while also managing fighters. He fixed an array of professional fights by using code-talk with trainers, foolproof matchmaking, and buying referees and judges. In this story, the highs and lows of gangster culture are explored as Charles Farrell describes the ease of taking advantage of society’s vulnerable parts.  Produced by Brendan Baker, Garrett Crowe, Mike Martinez, Nick van der Kolk, and Tyler Wray Information on Charles Farrell at worldtriberecords.com.

Charles Farrell was born to a sophisticated middle class family in Boston, but at age 12, he left home and came of age on the street, joining “low-life culture”, the underbelly of boxing, and avant garde piano.
