Thank you for listening to them!

This one brought Alberoni into better focus for me, too.

PL OK and fascinating:

Patrick O'Brian may have borrowed one of South Sea Bubble schemes to defraud poor Jack Aubrey - extracting silver from lead dross.

Can you tell me if the Bishop of Marseilles could have had a natural immunity to the Plague? I recently read Claire Tomalin's book about Samuel Pepys - he strolled nonchalantly around plague stricken London and knew he would be safe. He also frequented loose women and suffered no ill consequences.

Hi Barbara,

Yes, and thank you!

Actually, I don't know about any natural immunity to the bubonic plague. It is a zoonotic infection, like Covid-19, and coming from animals, I thought it finds the human immune system unprepared.

PL OK.

I searched our agreeable author and was surprised to read that he'd settled in Australia in 1875 and "his most important work is his... painstaking and valuable Austral English: A Dictionary Of Australasian Words, Phrases And Usages was published in 1898." (Wikipedia).

I guess you knew that? As this wasn't intended to be a scholarly work he wouldn't have suffered too much from "the tyranny of distance" from sources and libraries.

Best,

Barbara

Thank you, Barbara!

I knew he’d settled in Australia, but I didn’t know he was so hep to your lingo!

PL OK. I hope Fleury is an omen.... Wikipedia speaks fairly well of him. He died in his hundredth year! What were the odds against that?

Best,

He was a hero of France as Louis XIV never was.

Thanks!
