I'm just happy seeing an Anne secret. Been rewatching the first two miniseries. I really should find my copies and reread the books.

As for the secret, I think this is an example of language that would have been perfectly innocent at the time but today comes across as creepy.

I remember reading the first book as a kid, and people kept "ejaculating" all the time. I knew what the author meant, but yeah.

Not even as bad as Agatha Christie constantly referring to old women as "old pussies."

My favourite example of this is The Silver Chair...referring to Jill 'making love' to the giants...although I knew what was meant, a rather...painful-seeming image did flash in my mind.

The Eagle Of The Ninth, which is one of my favorite books and was written in the early 50s by an upper class British woman, features an amazing scene where someone asks the main character where his pet wolf is and he says that it's "making love to [the cook] for a bone." I know that what's meant is that wolfie is acting loving to the cook in hopes she gives him a bone to chew, but...phrasing.

all the time = 4 times in the whole book

You actually counted?

nayrt but you can look up the Gutenberg text and do a text search if you're curious.

Looks like it's 4 times, yeah.
