Extremely hard to validate if you don't just rubber stamp them. <Smile>
Part of the time you don't know if you're looking at scanning errors or
valid words because of her writing style. As I told Gustavo in my comments,
"At's jis' th' way 'at th' ol' gal writes."

Hi, Gerald! I was just wondering if anyone had scanned this one. I haven't
checked the validation list for a while, so I didn't realize it had been
posted. I love the Mitford books, so I'm excited to read this one. I can
imagine that they would be hard to validate, though. <Smile>
