Baldrick: Gertrude Perkins?

Blackadder: Yes, I gave myself a female pseudonym. Everybody’s doing it these days: Mrs Radcliffe, Jane Austen.

Baldrick: Jane Austen’s a man?

Blackadder: Of course. A huge Yorkshireman with a beard like a rhododendron bush.

Baldrick: Quite a small one, then?

Blackadder: Compared to Dorothy Wordsworth’s, certainly. James Boswell is the only real woman writing at the moment, and that’s just because she wants to get inside Johnson’s britches.
