Hello you all!
I don't remember, if this discussion has taken place earlier, but;
All right, Polly seemed to be pretty average with her intelligence.
So did Annie, despite she seems to have been a rather difficult person.
But, (tack ska du ha, Glenn!) despite not giving a very good impression of her intelligence for the Certificate of Change officials, Liz seemed to have been somewhat gifted in school during her Swedish years.
Catherine was an intelligent student at school, but seemed to have met difficulties with disciplin.
Then, the contradiction; despite Joe Barnett read news-papers to MJK, she was described by Mrs. Carthy being "an excellent scholar and an artist of no mean degree." And some people have stated, that "she was an artist of no mean degree". The possible explanations being; it was pretty common to read out loud the news-papers. It is also possible, that Mary Kelly was short-sighted or something. Anyway, since we know nothing about her for sure, shows an intelligence of some degree!
So, do you find it possible, folks, that JtR was looking after pretty witty women for his fantasies?
All the best
