"My very dear Friend,
I do not know where you are, but I think you must imagine that I have bade an eternal farewell to every thing below, so long have I been in answering your letters."
So begins a typical letter from Lady Powerscourt.
I, on the other hand, have clicked the wrong button and have unintentionally put comments into some kind of internet oblivion. Could I ask for anyone who has made a comment to repeat that kindness and then wish me luck in finding where I have gone wrong.

Originally named in memory of Lady Powerscourt, one of the 'Chief Women among the Brethren,' this is simply a place for me to collect stray thoughts about the Bible, women, the Brethren, Bible translation, manuscripts, writing systems, movies, books....

Hi - I made a comment to one of your posts about Lady Powerscourt, mainly that I knew little of her, but had read a bit about her friend, John Nelson Darby and Dispensationalism/the Rapture. An interesting blog :-)
Hi Crystal,
It may have been very hard on Theodosia Powerscourt to have her engagement with Darby broken off, especially since, as Peter mentionned in an earlier comment, there was a young Viscount, her stepson, who was by then coming of age.
In spite of my post I don't really think that hierarchy is a good model for viewing her relationships with men. I was really just trying out the *idea* of hierarchy since that is what Gerald proposed.
Thanks for reposting your comment.
