After all, she says on page 218 of Cross Creek Cookery, " And the hostess who twitters might just as well announce that the company is unwanted." Of course MKR was talking about the self-effacing hostess who pretended to apologize for the meal, not the 144 character cyber Twitter thas is a ubiquitious part of today's world. I think Marjorie would have been appalled by the onslaught of words that purport to capture modern reality. Words really were the clothes that thoughts wear for her. They were not the equivalent of the bluejays strident cry, " I'm here, here, here."
If I were to Twitter, my morning post today would read, " Cooked Norton's Spanish Omelet today. Guests loved it."
