I still felt as a wanderer on the face of the earth; but I experienced firmer trust in myself and my own powers, and less withering dread of oppression. The gaping wound of my wrongs, too, was now quite healed.

The consequence of it is, that Lady Lucas will have a daughter married before I have, and that Longbourn estate is just as much entailed as ever.

Mrs Bennet had many grievances to relate, and much to complain of. They had all been very ill-used since she last saw her sister. Two of her girls had been on the point of marriage, and after all there was nothing in it.

Perfect parrots, or popinjays as they were known in the early 14th century, when they were painted on this timber screen to a side chapel in wonderful St. Mary’s and All Saints Church, Willingham, Cambridgeshire 🤩

To a nunnery, go, and quickly too. Farewell.

The ruins of Nunnaminster in Winchester, one of the most important nunneries in Anglo-Saxon England. It was founded by Eahlswith, widow of Alfred the Great in around 903. Her granddaughter, St Eadburh was raised in the nunnery and became a nun there, dying in 960. It was dissolved by Henry VIII, Eahlswith’s descendant, in 1539 #nunnaminster #alfredthegreat #anglosaxon #henryviii

Ram thou thy fruitful tidings in mine ears,

Dead Shepherd, now I find thy saw of might,

If ever you have look'd on better days,
If ever been where bells have knoll'd to church,
If ever sat at any good man's feast,
If ever from your eyelids wiped a tear
And know what 'tis to pity and be pitied,
Let gentleness my strong enforcement be.

And this our life exempt from public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in every thing.

#OTD (18th April) 1161 Archbishop of Canterbury Theobald Bec dies. Henry II thankfully comes up with the perfect replacement for him, his friend and chancellor, the very talented Thomas Becket. Becket is reluctant but is eventually appointed a year after Theobald's death. What could go wrong?
