#sorry i didn't include your favourite 1830s writer

[clove-pinks]

I want to be an 1830s gentleman.

I will spell trousers as trowsers and use degrees farenheit. I will watch celebrated actors like Mr. Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris at the Olympic Theatre and the Royal Gardens Vauxhall. I'll have oysters and French dishes at an eating house and try not to die of cholera. I would go to grog shops every night and take the steam packet to Calais. I am also more likely to meet Washington Irving, George Cruikshank, Captain Marryat and William IV.

I wish I was an 1830s gentleman. :(
