Something a bit different this time. I’m generally hunting for Sherlock Holmes related blogs, today found this one:

http://www.astudyinsherlock.net

The theme is really appealing to my taste of colors; the content is also intriguing, though I am looking to read more about the stories themselves - maybe reviews, opinions, etc. Will be following it for some time.

Meanwhile I followed one of the links in there and stumbled upon a very very amusing test -

Mind Your Manners!

The Victorian Period
  Adopt the role of a late 19th century character…
… and try to earn your place in a world where every move is governed by the rules of etiquette.

I got 461 out of 500. Really, I thought I’ll get less! esp. during the ball scene. I *knew* I’ll screw it totally while in there, but it wasn’t so, to my surprise :lol:

I haven’t tried the male test as I have no idea whatsoever about the rules for gentlemen. Suppose I’d reach some medium score by logic and a knowledge of that times but then it’s not fun to pretend to be a male. Speaking about logic, the answers I chose in the female test just seemed so to me - right, obvious…if not “appropriate”  ;) Strangely enough they appeared appropriate indeed.  

I might expand this blog to entries about such things, though I don’t want it to turn exactly into literature-related blog. Victorian-related will just suffice.
