Love it!

[nuranar]

Working on the yellow muslin 1810s dress (getting ready to cut out) and watching/listening to Jeeves & Wooster.  From "Bertie Sets Sail," while steaming into New York Harbor:

Bertie: Now Jeeves, why do you think they built all these tall buildings?

Jeeves: Well, sir, it was partly because of the restricted size of Manhattan Island, and partly because the island is solid granite and therefore capable of supporting such structures.

Bertie: Nothing to do with having got the plan sideways, then?

Jeeves: ... No, sir.
