Re: Boston Brahmin Accents...(video)
The other accent would be the Locust Valley Lockjaw--I had some grade-school teachers from that region so my English is tempered with such an accent. People think I lived in Britain due to my vaguely non-rhotic pronunciations, and such.

filmed at the Athenaeum. I like the way the dumber of the two mentioned that Dickens's Pickwick Papers is his greatest novel. Or his only great novel. Only a self-assured, insular, provincial Brahmin would make such an assertion.

I'd like to see 'em put on a real Huntin' tea inspired by Surtees.
Mixin' food with literature is a fine idea. The great Molly Kean (MJ Farrell) I'd also recommend in this area for an Anglo-Irish touch that would suit Boston to a T.
