re: #344 Walter L. Newton

No really, my grandmother disguised herself as a man (I’m telling you that picture is her) to escape her crazy parents in Poland in 1903. It was the only way she could get out of Poland.

So, let me get this straight. Your grandmother disguised herself as a dead Victorian novelist to get out of Poland. Actually, I don’t think he was translated into Polish at that time, so he would have been relatively unknown.
