Some extra info for 202, "Still Breaking"—This is a concertina, this is what they mean by "copy book" and some 411 on Chatterton (who is mentioned disparagingly). That's about it.

Nearly five years since we started, we hit the big two-oh-oh. Whoot! Thank you to the 70 or so of you who participated in Thing 1's Science Fair. He's a very happy scientist with a dumpster load of data. Little more for you here in the shownotes, just a couple of goofy links. This just in--build a Roman Aqueduct with yarn, Molskein-friendly fountain pens, Jane Eyre in the Times, new Jasper Fforde One of Our Thursday's Is Missing, nifty travel printer, money podcast, climate-friendly meat, a Spite House in VA, wormholes are real (maybe), the REAL King's Speech, and a lego brick... of yarn. A Raveler takes the Cratchette and extends it to Cratchettens! LOVE IT! And today, we hear the voice of Marion, herself. First Epoch, Marion i-ii.

esurgence of Knitting "ON POINT" from NPR--with FRANKLIN HABIT!!! (and Susan Strawn, Jenna Woginrich, and Street Color). Is there an oligarchy in the world of knitting? Scrapbooks on the Go is great! Go checkitout! Fun "i.e., e.g." grammar info. Ahab's ship--found! GF Scones that look REALLY good, GF Pizza crust, GF Biscuits, GF Sandwich bread, other uses for cupcake makers (who knew there was such a thing). Urban Gardenshare.org GREAT idea for city-dwellers who are gardenarily inclined. Parent's Guide to Student Success. Reading test for six-year-olds in UK to include non-words.

And in the world of our book! Mister Vincent Gilmore of Chancery Lane, solicitor (Mister Lorry, anyone?) introduces you to some new subtext and some family past information you may find useful. He also mentions a game called Whist. Apparently a game is called a "rubber" and you can play it online here. Wiki has a picture of the scoring board.
