So the word went out from town to town across Europe - to stop the plague - kill the fleas - by killing all the dogs. And immediately the slaughter of all dogs began. But like lots of well intentioned governmental/academic ideas it was somewhat wide of the mark…..and had unexpected consequences. The cause was fleas alright but not dog fleas...it was rat fleas.

So by suggesting that townsfolk kill their dogs, the wise authorities had unwittingly allowed the rat population to flourish and thus a new vicious rash and global outbreak of Black Plague began.

The 23-year-old Brontë told him that he would find her "romantic and eccentric" and not practical enough to be a clergyman's wife. Rather than marry, Brontë struggled as a teacher and governess to help support her brother Branwell's literary aspirations. In the end, Branwell's excesses destroyed him; his sisters, though, all became literary figures.
I wonder how many women were brave enough to take the step of remaining single throughout their lives, because they did not want the drudgery of marriage.
