Our next group read is Lady Anna.

I recall years ago visiting Germany and sitting on the grass in a park and a helpful person had us move to a park bench. Jerome has a great way of describing this keep off the grass impetus.<br />Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-45121985140814080732017-06-12T18:11:06.007-04:002017-06-12T18:11:06.007-04:00I really enjoyed both the book and mini-series of ...I really enjoyed both the book and mini-series of Dr. Thorne--yes, the Greshams and De Courcy's are annoying but Mary wins in the end!

The dog quote you included was one of my favourites too. I'm looking forward to reading more plays by Oscar Wilde - I've only read The Importance of Being Earnest so far.
