A Message from Dorothy the Housekeeper
Her Nibs The Editrix has been under the weather for a few days. I’ve been dosing her with white soup and negus and just a wee drop of Tullamore Dew in her tea and she seems to be coming around now. We think you’ll see a few new items here at AustenBlog very soon.

Wishing you well. I, too, am traveling with hankies. We miss your contributions.

Get well soon, and I hope your sore-throats are not worse than anybody’s!
December 1st, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Get well soon =)

Let the Editrix now that we all hope she’ll get well soon, Dorothy!

Well Mags, here is something to amuse you while you are recovering–a case of Janeites perhaps taking their affection for Jane a bit too far…

Hope you are on the mend soon!

Maria — “Get off my lawn” indeed! What a shocking bit of trespassing.
Mags — Stop yer whining and get back to your unpaid full time second career of entertaining the masses! Hope you are better SOON.

Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling up to snuff..whatever that means! Looking forward to your return and new tidbits to read about Janeites everywhere. Though the article Maria L about ashes being unwelcome was wonderful.

Get well soon. You should not have gone out in the rain, you know. Is there, perhaps, a houseful of people nearby, romancing each other while you recuperate?
December 2nd, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Mags!!!
Just get well soon!!!
You know you are not allowed to be ill.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Hope you are better soon!
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Get Better!

I, too, wish you a swift recovery, and will only add that perhaps you might like a bit of thin gruel? And an egg boiled very soft is not unwholesome, but I do not advise the custard.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Like a mom, an Editrix is not supposed to get sick. All heck can break loose! Get to feeling better.

Thanks, all–I really wasn’t angling for sympathy, just wanted Dorothy to let everyone know why I haven’t been up to posting.
It wasn’t the hanky-and-sore-throat variety of flu, unfortunately. :-/ (Might even have been a nasty case of food poisoning–but does one get a fever from food poisoning?) I’m up and about now, though, and coincidentally had already scheduled this week off from work, so I was able to just cocoon up and recover. No Thanksgiving dinner for me, though.

It’s good to have you back.
