The "Pink House"

Hello! I'm writing from Manchester, England, the home of our lovely authoress, Elizabeth Gaskell. It thought it would be relevant to post some pictures of Mrs. Gaskell's abode, affectionately known around these parts as the "Pink House." (Yes, it is actually pink!). The house, located at 84 Plymouth Grove, has recently been acquired for restoration by the Heritage Trust here in Manchester. It's a two million pound project, with an expected timeline of 10 years. I had a chance to see the inside of the house, and it certainly needs some work! Sorry I won't be there in person to discuss "The Old Nurse's Story," but I will certainly be there, fittingly, in spirit.
Best wishes,
Meagan.

CORRECTED VERSION: Gaskell, "The Old Nurse's Story"

This is just a reminder that we settled on Gaskell's "The Old Nurse's Story" for our next meeting, which is scheduled for Monday, October 15, 4-5 p.m. in the Second Cup in the Computer Science building. E-texts are not hard to find (here's one). The story is also reprinted in Glennis Stephenson's excellent collection Nineteenth-Century Stories by Women, available in the library. I have an extra copy of the Stephenson book, so I'll put that in the department lounge (on the Assignments bookshelf) for those who want to xerox the story from it.
