Cranford - Calash

I just have to say I adore this scene from page 56.

"The spring evenings were getting bright and long when three or four ladies in calashes met at Miss Barker's door."

The paragraph following the sentence makes me laugh.

I really didn't know what a calash was. So I've posted a picture.



cute :)

It's like a retractable covered wagon for your head!
