Dec 19, 2018 at 12:47 comment added Stuart F @BaridBaranAcharya Jane Austen didn't write To The Light House; it was Virginia Woolf.
Dec 19, 2018 at 11:28 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit @BaridBaranAcharya Yeah but Jane Austen died over two hundred years ago - she can hardly be an authority on contemporary usage!
Dec 19, 2018 at 6:17 comment added Barid Baran Acharya Consider the very first line of Jane Austen's novel, To the Light House where the mother is careful enough not to hurt the child's sentiment, "Yes, of course, if it's fine tomorrow," said Mrs. Ramsay. " But you'll have to be UP WITH THE LARK," she added. I've upvoted it.
