I wouldn't be surprised if this was a copy/paste from a PDF - in my experience that tends to cause random typos to appear. | |

| Mar 15, 2022 at 17:51 | comment | added | FreeMan | I wasn't questioning "ladie", @V2Blast, I got that the quote was full of archaic spelling & wording. I was questioning the change, within the quoted text, to the modern "Lady". | |
| Mar 15, 2022 at 17:46 | comment | added | V2Blast | @FreeMan: It is an archaic spelling of the word. | |
| Mar 15, 2022 at 14:56 | comment | added | FreeMan | Is the switch from "ladie Mary and ladie Elizabeth" to "Lady Mary and Lady Elizabeth" part of the original text or a misquote? If it's part of the original, what would have caused the change in spelling and capitalization? | |
