[Vwoolf] SACKVILLE, Thomas

[Stuart N. Clarke]

My copy of this book has quite a lot of wriggly underlining of the Rev.'s 
intros, etc., but very few comments.  One such, on p. i, after ". . . though 
Nicolas Udall be considered as having done much for English comedy, his 
style is coarse, and will not bear comparison with that of Lord Buckhurst.", 
reads: "Hoity-toity."

I wondered if that might have been a word-play, as Udall's "most famous work 
[was] the play 'Ralph Roister Doister'"!
