RT @VicctorianChad@twitter.com: Instead of digging-in every time a European looks down on America, Take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself: “What kind of a country squanders its entire golden age building sterile lonely environmentally destructive places instead of beauty?” https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e41198a5f08cea9087e6020b427193ce5096d71cc541aee1dc1a5e8f6ebce3f8.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6e0c704c8e38816793e77fe980822925ede53e9b54640bcd3de818f002ebd44f.file

Has anyone visited? All descriptions call it small but it certainly doesn't look small even for six adults (seven if you include the manservant who lived in a small garret).

The house where Jane Austen lived from 1809 until her death in 1817. Originally a 17th century timber framed farmhouse with a thatched roof, it became a coaching inn until the mid-18th c. when it was the bailiff's house of the estate it belonged to, in 1769. Jane lived there with her mother and sister, a family friend, two maids and one manservant. The house was clad in brick and re-roofed with tiles. Every room has a fireplace. The sitting room window closest to the road was bricked in, to give the ladies more privacy from the busy road and a new window opened up towards the garden. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9f3266799f7485b448d82d6c5fe6da834efb3709f8e17acc7349ac0b58b3e1a9.file

The serious student of Chesterton in Japan had better read the notes. I never found notes like this for Carlyle. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/81a13f91883c2980f66c4e7e29af4cef1d56dfb99d0f630ac85865a61c7856d2.file

In a Japanese experiment it was found that businesses that made an effort to clean their fronts and the streets around it had higher sales than when it didn't clean up. Furthermore, the effect was even bigger if they could be seen doing it: in other words, do your cleaning at times people are passing by and see you doing it! https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c48efa1559c99661104b4f17eca83b3fbe4dcf5f241a95b05637c792a9416248.file
