Miscounselling Charlotte

Keighley News reports that Keighley is third on a list of '20 "best affordable" destinations for winter holidays in the UK.'

The town is behind just Clacton-on-Sea and Great Yarmouth in the table, compiled by TripAdvisor company Holiday Lettings.
According to data from the firm, rates for a two-bedroom rental in Keighley average £321 a week between December and February.
Spokesman Laurel Greatrix said: "Keighley is a fantastic option for travellers looking for an affordable winter break.
"Visitors have easy access to Brontë Country, making it a great base for exploring beautiful Yorkshire.
"Holiday demand is an advantage for homeowners too, who can capitalise on the opportunity and generate extra income."
Keighley MP John Grogan also extols the town's virtues as a holiday destination.
"What a great time for a winter break here!" he said.
"A ride on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway at the start of its 50th anniversary year, a visit to Haworth as the celebration of Emily Brontë's bicentenary begins plus the chance to see the revived Cliffe Castle and the splendour of East Riddlesden Hall. What's not to like?
"I am only sorry I have to get the train south this week as the Commons returns to business, but I'm in the early stages of planning a reception in Parliament later this year to draw attention to Keighley's tourist attractions." (Alistair Shand) 

Daily Collegian has fun using quotations from the classics and applying them to student life.

“There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.”
“Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë
Brontë and “Jane Eyre” describe the atmosphere when your friend group finally all gets together and stays up talking until an extremely unwise hour. Though now most college students probably don’t play charades, unlike in 1847. [...]
“A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.”
“Wuthering Heights” by Emily Brontë
The other Brontë must mean 10 p.m. here, because there’s no way most students can get three hours of classwork, two meetings, three lectures and five projects done before the evening.
She’s right, though: after the “height” of your energy is gone and you’re making a study guide at 1 a.m, sometimes half of the assignments wait until morning. (Gabrielle Barone)

Belfast Telegraph sings the praises of the English language and looks at words that have fallen through the cracks.

Charlotte Brontë was once given 'miscounsel' from another writer - bad advice which she didn't take. Yet a useful word. (Mary Kenny)
