Maybe Tim is still waiting patiently for us to notice that he hasn't been back.

Was it something I said, I wonder? I've noticed the same thing at parties - someone asks a question and I start to give an answer: ten minutes later, I'm ther, standing on my own. It makes you wonder why people ask, if they're not interested in the - - Oh, Well! I might as well head back to the drinks table.

In reply to:
The Book of St. Albans, 1486, as the seminal authority. Any idea how to find that, or any reprint, to check for butterflies?
Should any AWADer have one hundred and fifty pounds to spare:

See under Berners for a Victorian reprint of the Book of St. Albans.
PS. I googled with Albans hunting hawking
PPS. If I've understood this entry correctly, a microfiche copy is available somewhere in Chicago. Is there a University of Chicago?

Ungladly: that is such a wonderful word, it deserves a resurrection, I think - don't you?

Yes, there is: reasonably near me (and my alma mater). If need be, I'll see if they'll let me peruse.

the link you gave is to a College of Charleston web site. the entry, I think, indicates the genesis of their "Microfiche. Chicago, Ill. : Library Resources, inc."

Oh, heavens. Let's not confuse the University of Chicago and the College of Charleston; we'll end up with maroon cougars, which just can't be good.
