Harris may have been faithful in dialect but that is plainly not what the diarist wrote. His transcriptions were looser than free.

I am sure it is 'expe' the diarist is fairly consistent on his 'exp's and very idiosyncratic with a weak 'e'. The pics should illustrate.

We were driving home from Düsseldorf today, so I missed this thread completely. Glad to see you got it sorted! (Well done, Gadget!)

Thanks, Deskman, for providing us with lots of tests for our grey matter these past weeks. It's been a lot of fun!

Best regards from Wolfenbüttel
Karen
