<br>  I notice someone referred to John Dickson Carr in a paragraph about
<br>  British authors.  This author was not British at all.  He was from
<br>  Uniontown, Pennsylvania . . .
<br>
<br>Yes, of course!  My point was that his Great Detective, the one who used
<br>the word "canoodle", was supposed to be British -- and his speech
<br>peculiarities were supposed to be indicative of Britishisms.
<br>
<br>At least that's the partial memory I'm trying to recover.
