bilby BRAINYBABE DECLARES WAUGH ON WORDIE! Dec 23, 2008
BrainyBabe OK, thank you for the tip. Hope you will join in with the Waugh list! Dec 23, 2008
yarb The best way of doing that is to click on "more searches" in the top-right corner of your screen, and search for "waugh" in lists and comments. If no lists show up with "waugh" in the title or description, then you might find such a list by looking at comments with "waugh" in them, and tracing through to the attendant list.
But I've just looked and there don't seem to be any Waugh-specific lists as yet - so go ahead and change that! Dec 22, 2008
BrainyBabe Do you know how this place works? For example, how could I find any existing Waugh lexicon lists? Dec 22, 2008
yarb Yeah, I'd heard about the less-bleak one but I've never read it. It's the Dickens monomania that clinches it for me - a true vision of hell.
I've also not read "Black Mischief". It's on my list, though. Dec 22, 2008
BrainyBabe You do know that he wrote at least two endings -- the edition I have just returned to the library had a bleak one and a less bleak one. Both bitingly funny. (Although I like the cannabalistic end to the aviatrix in his Ethiopian-inspired novel.) Dec 22, 2008
yarb That's my favourite Waugh novel, and perhaps the best ending to any novel. Dec 22, 2008
BrainyBabe From Evelyn Waugh's ''A Handful of Dust''. A hunt meeting hosted on the lawn of someone's home, complete with stirrup cup. Colloquial speech. Dec 22, 2008
