Ugh!
ReplyDeleteOn a slightly similar note, this morning Disney replayed an episode of the cartoon "Phineas and Ferb" where "Jane Eyre" is mentioned three times. The title is "A Hard Day's Knight."
part 1 5:10

part 2 6:08 (where "Jane Eyre" is mentioned at 4:30, 4:38, and at 5:50)

Oh, great! Thanks a lot for that. As you can see we have edited the post to include it.
ReplyDeleteHah, yes, a period period joke ... Thanks for posting the link! Saw the Phineas & Ferb episode a while ago, had a good giggle at the Jane Eyre stuff. :)
