I am wading through The Prime Minister by Anthony Trollope. It is awful and not helped by voluminous notes, e.g. p113 "cup of cha" - vulgar, cup of tea, common amongst the lower classes of Essex and Lancashire. Not very helpful! Then, page 247 "Whisht hoots mon the noo" uttered by a newpaper editor called Sprugeon, and the note is "Gibberish"

Guess how bothered I am if nobody responds? Do you think I am going to stay up wringing my hair out? No, I am not, if you have nothing to say then say it here.

This place doesn't deserve me, I am away to legolard's new site.

It was the surgeon called Sprugeon, and the gibbon spoke gibberish. Well you would, wouldn't you? It comes from spending too much time on this site.
