I was reminded yesterday, Frederick, about William Prynne, who hated
dancing, and the Court, but kept on going well into the Restoration,
yet had his ears cut off repeatedly for his pains.

David's original question: Is Prynne trying to write English while thinking
Mandarin? And if so, is there any point to it?
