Miscellany
Waves generated by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 reached the shores of Peru and Nova Scotia.
The bathing was so delightful this morning, and Molly so pressing with me to enjoy myself, that I believe I stayed in rather too long, as since the middle of the day I have felt unreasonably tired. I shall be more careful another time, and shall not bathe tomorrow as I had before intended.
—Jane Austen, 1804
