Okay, I am guessing again: You are reading the biography of a louche optometrist. Or opthalmologist. I bet it was written by A. Sitefor Soreyes.

No Wordwind, you are not reading the biography that you say you are reading, you are a proper epeolatrist and you are reading...

The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY

The first sentence of the book...

"In Victorian London, even in a place as louche and notoriously crime-ridden as Lambeth Marsh, the sound of gunshots was a rare event indeed."

Now please go tell AnnaStrophic -in french- that she is wrong.

Yes I am reading the biography I'm reading because I'm an improper epeolatrist! raspberry

Oui, ASp, elle est La Femme and L'Homme, non?
Yes, asp, she is The Woman and The Man, no?
