Last month's quote was indeed from Cranford, and spoken by our own beloved Miss Matty. :D And this month's quote is one that made me laugh out loud when I first heard it, just as last one's did.
"I know what he's going to do to her. She'll be cavorting, and twinkling, careening towards a happy ending like a kamikaze."
Any guesses? Don't forget to submit your posts for the May edition right over here!

Hello, I am a reader from South Korea. Please excuse me if my English is not up to standard. While I love the quote and Cranford, I just wanted to point out that 'kamikaze' is a term the Japanese used during WW2 to refer to their suicide fighter pilots who crashed their planes into British or American battleships. Numerous men from East Asian countries that Japan dominated at the time were dragged into the war and forced to serve as kamikaze pilots. It's a very painful part of history for us Koreans and many others.
If I have troubled you with this somewhat not quite relevant information, I'm sorry. I just thought more people from other parts of the world should know that 'kamikaze' is a word that contains such a meaning.
I visit your blog often, and your posts are always wonderfully witty and insightful! I hope you'll keep writing for a long time yet!
-Sincerely, a Korean high school student.
