Monday, 26 January 2015, Pages 209 - 210

We stopped today at "... a dynamight right for Pavl the Curate;..." (210.36)

And we started today with "... baggyrhatty?" (209.10), a word that is said to refer - in this chapter brimming with the names of rivers - to the river, Bhagirathi, in India.

Bhagirathi is another name for Ganga, and is so called as she was brought down to the earth by King Bhagiratha.

Find out more about Bhagirathi and Bhagiratha!

IMPORTANT: There will be no reading next Monday (on 2 February 2015)
