Too bad... it was an interesting show. I already knew the book came about
as a challenge when she and Percy were in Geneva with Lord Byron as to who
could write the best "ghost" story. I did not know she was only age 19 at
the time. Goodness, if she'd been 20 she'd have been an old maid!

OB Food: I wonder what they ate for dinner? I'm picturing roasted
pheasant.
