Mister Ron's Basement #570 Ending a week of funny stories by Marcus Mills 'Brick' Pomeroy, from his 1868 collection, 'Nonsense, or Hits and Criticisms on the Follies of the Day.' Here's a tale of lifelong (and beyond) romance with a country girl in 'My Milkmaid Miranda.' And incidentally, Mister Ron discovered that the word 'womblecropt' means 'a rumbling stomach.' It was much more commonly used in the 19th century. Time: approx ten and a half minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Full Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The Brick Pomeroy Catalog of Stories is at: http://ronevry.com/brickpomeroy.html |
