(random commenting on old 'bookmarked for later' posts) Ooh I liked this *and* it's new to me - I thought I'd read through my 'Complete Lewis Carroll' but maybe I hadn't! Love the periphrasis for sodium hyposulphite or whatever it is. And goodness, this speaks of bitter experience - makes me more appreciative of Dodgson's skill and patience, and for that matter the patience of his little girl sitters, not easy for children to sit so still for so long!
