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.

Ep. 682: Cranford | Chapter 4 Book talk begins at 10:00 A mysterious stranger stirs up gossip, secrets slip out over tea, and Miss Matty’s world gets just a little more complicated. --------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Episode start 01:56 MAY RAFFLE - Sir Walter Scott Cross stitch from Rebecca S (Of Book it with Becca, who wrote the wonderful post: 2:42 The dimensions of the cross-stitch are 9”x11” (23cmx30cm) Also, Plum Deluxe’s CraftLit tea collection is here: 03:55 - and and 06:12 07:18 - Thin Man Movie Watch Party, May 24, 2025. If you need to level-up to join us 09:54 - Re- hash Chapter 3: A Love Affair of Long Ago - Miss Matty Jenkyns reminisces about her past romance with Mr. Holbrook, which was thwarted by her family’s disapproval. Miss J couldn’t SUCK an orange (then by ch 3 she was gone from us) Martha, the new girl of all work trying to learn how to do her job and nudging Major Jenkyns when he didn’t serve himself fast enough 11:00 Miss Matilda SATE bolt upright (not a typo) 11:16 Poetry today from George Herbert—selections from will be featured at the end of the episodes, Euan Bartlett is the reader 12:00 “Pudding before meat” and “no broth no ball; no ball, no beef” Suet Pudding: Spotted Dick pudding: Steak and Kidney pudding: Yorkshire Pudding 14:00 15:32 Old fashioned forks - like 16th Century/1500s - were two-tine forks. 16:44 “Aminé at her grains of rice after her previous feast with the Ghoul” - from “The Story of Sidi-Nouman” from One Thousand and One Nights (1765-8) Aminé is wife of Sidi Nouman who notices she only eats rice with a bodkin. He figures out she’s a Ghoul who goes to cemeteries at night to feast on the newly-buried dead so rice was pretty ‘meh’ for her. 17:48 “Unbecoming to put on over their caps” - threw me b/c of the Caleche’s in Dracula - turns out they’re related! Retractable hood to put over a cap! 19:34 Tennyson - a line about cedars from 1842’s and in the original text It’s missing from the published version so a conversation turn would have been less of an utter non-sequiter in the OG version. 20:30 Headsup for the crocheters in our midst. 20:48 - not included accidentally. 21:04 Visiting rules - more 49:40 ‘“My cousin might make a drive, I think,” said Miss Pole, who was afraid of ear-ache, and had only her cap on. ’— spectacular set of non-sequiters (p41) 53:30 I saw, I imitated, I survived - Mary Smith as Cæsar - using rounded knife tip as a spoon-ish food delivery device Don’t forget! George Herbert’s poetry often draws on the natural world, gardens, and quiet reflection: 1. “The Flower” Theme: Renewal, the seasons of the soul, joy in growth Perfect for July because: It celebrates the resurgence of beauty and hope—after cold or darkness, flowers bloom again. “Grief melts away Like snow in May, As if there were no such cold thing.” “Who would have thought my shriveled heart Could have recovered greenness? It was gone Quite underground; as flowers depart To see their mother-root, when they have blown.” “Thy garden is not bare; And I shall find once more The sweet communion with thy saints.” 2. “Easter” Yes, it’s tied to the holiday, but it also celebrates light and blooming. “Rise heart; thy Lord is risen. Sing his praise Without delays, Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise With him mayst rise.” Pair this with literal rising things—morning sun, lilies, tall foxgloves. 3. “The Pulley” Theme: Why God withholds perfect rest—so we seek Him. This works well in summer, when life feels abundant, but still leaves a twinge of longing. “When God at first made man, Having a glass of blessings standing by…” (and yet withheld rest, to draw man’s soul back to God) A beautiful idea for a reflective pause among too-perfect blooms. 4. “Love (III)” Theme: Divine love, human unworthiness, and acceptance It’s more theological, but gentle and moving—great for a quiet bench moment in a shady corner. “Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back…” “You must sit down,” says Love, “and taste my meat.” So I did sit and eat.” It pairs beautifully with the hum of bees and the hospitality of a garden. If you want a very short quote for your garden journal or bench-musing: • “Thou hast given me this herb of grace to smell and taste.” — from “Grace” • “Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave…” — from “Virtue” • “He that in mirth and youthful jollity keeps measure, is more temperate than he that lets his sorrow flow out without check.” — from his prose The Country Parson *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: *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.

Ep. 681: Cranford | Chapter 3 Book talk begins at 15:00 A mysterious gentleman caller? A missed dinner invite gone socially sideways? Things are getting awkwardly entertaining in the most delightfully proper way. --------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Episode start 03:00 Knitting Comfortably: The ergonomics of knitting by Carson Demers “Wuv. TWOO Wuv…” 04:16 BOOK PARTY WAS Thursday, April 24th, for The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett - the Watch party will be May 29th. If you need to level-up to join us 05:00 trailer 05:36 Plum Deluxe Herbal--I found out this was a special blend that might no longer be available but you can ** 07:08 You can call the show from the App or 206-350-1642 or speakpipe.com/craftlit 8:05 and let us know what text you want on the screen during your video (promote your shop!) 10:45 also check out other indie online bookshops and or Powell’s. OLD FARLEY’S (with the cat older than I am) Pics of The Salt House 13:28 Heather attempts gardening on a deck without a hose. Sympathy and/or hints are welcomed ;) 15:35 START OF BOOK TALK 19:20 Hortus Siccus - an arranged collection of dried plants 20:19 in the miniseries 21:14 Articles of Engagement - rules for your servants (a contract) 22:00 wine and dessert (really wine and nuts) 22:44 Recondite - something difficult to understand 23:15 23:42 by Charles Perrault (who did NOT write the version of Tristan and Isolde we listened to) Moral: Curiosity, in spite of its appeal, often leads to deep regret. To the displeasure of many a maiden, its enjoyment is short lived. Once satisfied, it ceases to exist, and always costs dearly. Another moral: Apply logic to this grim story, and you will ascertain that it took place many years ago. No husband of our age would be so terrible as to demand the impossible of his wife, nor would he be such a jealous malcontent. For, whatever the color of her husband’s beard, the wife of today will let him know who the master is. (Heather’s note: I just had to add those here as I found them after I recorded) Andrew Lang, The Blue Fairy Book (London: Longmans, Green, and Company, ca. 1889), pp. 290-295. Lang’s source: Charles Perrault, “La Barbe bleüe, “Histoires ou contes du temps passé, avec des moralités: Contes de ma mère l’Oye (Paris, 1697). And just for fun because I’ve mentioned it before: and - . Another tale by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm about a sinister bridegroom (Aarne-Thompson type 955).—The is wrapped around the Bluebeard story like a tourniquet! 24:50 “Leave me to repose…” from poem by Thomas Gray (of “ 25:55 “Pride which apes humility” from “The Devil’s Thoughts” “The Devil’s Thoughts” is a satirical poem in common metre by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, published in 1799, and expanded by Robert Southey in 1827 and retitled “The Devil’s Walk” (Heather: AH HA! Now it makes sense). The narrative describes the Devil going walking and enjoying the sight of the various sins of mankind. Originally published: 1799 Authors: , 27:24 Yeoman vs Esquire 29:15 Castle Building (aka, wool-gathering) - 30:17 CHAPTER AUDIO BEGINS - Heather makes wool slippers using from YouMakeItSimple.com 52:46 POST-CHAPTER CHAT 53:45 , from Brenda Dayne 56:25 Serve from the Left details: Serving: - Plates: Plates are served from the left, using your left hand to place the plate, allowing the server to use their right hand to avoid crossing in front of the guest. Beverages: Beverages, such as water and wine, are poured from the right, as glasses are typically placed to the right of the guest’s plate. Sides: Sides like bread and vegetables are also served from the left. Clearing: Plates: Plates are cleared from the right, using your right hand to remove the plate. Exceptions: If a guest is obstructing the way on the right, or if there is an object on the right side, a server may need to serve from the right. Some restaurants may have their own protocols for serving, whether it’s to the right or left. Why Serve from the Left? Serving from the left is considered less intrusive for right-handed diners, as it avoids the server having to reach across the guest. It also allows the server to carry the food in their left hand and serve with their right hand, without crossing their arms in front of the guest. 57:20 *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.

Ep. 680: Cranford | Chapter 2 Book talk begins at 6:13. This week’s chapter is a sobering reminder that small towns sometimes carry the heaviest stories. Also, we get another battle over Dickens vs. Johnson (yep, that again). --------------------------------------------------------------- • 02:40 - : Listen to “The Blog” (4 min vs 19 min on “The Gist—yes, he titled them in reverse). This is one of the Long-Covid papers we’ve been waiting for. PEM—post-exertional malaise is “feeling tired/sore a day after a workout” on crack. • PEM pain and brain fog can last up to two weeks after exertion…The Rank Study he mentions is the group saying “duh m’dude. If you’ve been in bed for a year yer gonna be tired after a workouta. You gotta get back on your exercise routine and qitcherbellyaching” —a theory that’s led to permanent patient paralysis. The other study is big because it indicates that the damage is mitochondrial, not systematic (i.e., we’re getting plenty of blood to our muscles. The muscles just can’t do anything WITH that oxygen) • —and from the People who created the Visible app that has saved my life (MakeVisible.com) • 03:20 Snake Oil!!! • 04:03 RAFFLE of "Knitting Companion," the amazing ergonomic book. Join the raffle here: • 06:13 BOOK TALK BEGINS • 06:40 - Re-hash Ch 1 • 09:35 - Humor and Gaskell • 10:40 - I'm drinking Plum Deluxe Bookshop Blend White.

But the meaning is the same.) • 15:15 - Biblical DebORah (the pronunciation that should be used ahem) read about her in Judges 4:4. • 15:36 - “Strong minded” women - yeah, that was an insult. Kinda like “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted…” when Elizabeth Warren tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King into the Congressional Record in February 2017. See Mary Wollstonecraft on masculine women on • 17:50 - - this is not the one I remembered (they haven’t digitised their entire collection) but it DOES have a shocking poem in it—by a 14 year old girl. • 18:50 - Just a heads up: Gaskell sort of doesn’t really quote things accurately—at this time code she’s sort of quoting Hamlet, she also makes up words like Brunonian • 20:02 - Sort of quoting Alexander Pope “Imitations of Horace” 1733 • 20:17 - Sort of quoting/sub-referencing Spenser’s “The Faerie Queene” IV:3;32, 1596 • 20:55 - Nasty cruel Railroads.
