Why I love biographical dictionaries
One sentence, from the entry about writer Ethel Anderson (1883-1958) in the Australian Dictionary of Biography online, written by Martha Rutledge:
"Somewhat formidable in later life, Ethel became quite deaf and brandished an immense, silver ear-trumpet, adorned with chiffon to match her dresses."
Sounds like someone I would love to party with!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the text line for an ATC.
ReplyDeletePlus which, I think we should all have more chiffon in our lives.
