Note to self: Insert smileys when making jokes.
Perhaps
not a(n affectionate) family joke. Maybe a
philologist's in joke that the name of his daughter has the same meaning as that of one of his characters. Maybe there is some connection though - in that he wanted to include a hidden reference to his daughter in the book.
I didn't intend any disrespect to Priscilla. I haven't met her, but I have been at the past three Oxonmoots where she has presided over the Saturday lunch & my impression of her is a very positive one.
Besides, I happen to
like Ioreth ....
