malone chrise

I have never read any books by those authors either but I went to an outdoor performance of Pride and Prejudice. It was at a country house and 5 actors played all the parts. It was brilliant but it did not persuade me to try JA's books.

Were there any actresses?

or actorettes ...

... or actrixes! ...

... you could be a spinnatrix Grunger!

There were 3 actresses and 2 actors, but unfortunately no actorettes or actrices. I was using actor in the generic sense. I like tyke's suggestion that you could be a ----natrix.

Tyke, if we follow conventional Latin structure, than singular would be actrix, but plural would be actrices. : )

I stand corrected Profrock - I was thinking about words like Dominatrix ... I suppose the plural is Dominatrices, but then perhaps one Dominatrix is enough! Like a lot of things my Latin is more than a little rusty - it never was great to be honest!

tyke

Thanks for your suggestion that I could be some sort of -atrix. I am currently an executrix and soon to become a testatrix. But I would really like to be a proprietrix, preferably of a pub.

Interesting that our favourite novels, She and Emma, featured in the sequences round of Only Connect tonight

Thanks, Grunger. Yes, I saw that - just a pity that there was no room for Miss Jean Brodie, but maybe 'modern' literature will feature in another episode?
