h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Great entry. I did wonder, though, why Emma's mother changed her name when she went to live with Emma in London. Do you know? Did she fear fro her reputation?

It was loosely thought that Emma's mother might have been rather friendly with the gents herself

She lived in London for many years, never far from Emma.

Emma seems to use her name/s rather like a stage name. Which might be why she used her legitimate name in the marriage register.

Thanks for taking the time to read it, Bel

It was a fascinating read. Oh, and I guess she had to use her real name for the marriage, or else it wouldn't have been valid. Only this afternoon I listened to David Copperfield, and part of it was about a man who had married giving only part of his name, and when he wanted to get rid of his wife a year later, he claimed the marriage wasn't valid because he hadn't given his full name.

What a terrible trick.. Rather like Mick Jagger saying his marriage to Jerry Hall wasn't legal, because it wasn't registered in this country!

yes, such behaviour is just mean.

On that note, I think I must away to bed, hunny


Goodnight love. Sleep tight when you go

I'm way past my bedtime, so will go now, too. Goodnight, love, sleep tight.
