[Vwoolf] Fancy not knowing that!

[Stuart N. Clarke]

It was intended as a gentle tease of foreigners outwith the Empire – but also an implied criticism of annotated editions that don’t explain what readers might need to know.

I suspect you of playing "tease the foreigner" Stuart! I had a memory that when in Hollywood, Sir Cedric Hardwicke expected all expatriot Brits to turn up for net practice for the local cricket team, but could not find this on line. But I did find this, from around the time of The Waves:

"The headmaster of High Wycombe Royal Grammar School, Mr. E.R.Tucker, in an effort to stimulate the interest of parents in school affairs, has arranged cricket practice at the nets for fathers once a week."

Evening Post, Wednesday August 14, 1935

  When the boys are at school in “The Waves”, Louis “said”:

  Alles klar?
