George-sandizm

[Chew G]

Since this topic came up, I have been hunting around (but so far in vain) for the text of a George Sand letter, which I copied into a file some time ago. It might be relevant here, provided that it was generally known by contemporaries that she produced such things. It is a letter to a lover, whose literal meaning, though certainly amorous, is much less explicit and obscene than the text produced by skipping from each line to the next and reading the first word or syllable in sequence. (At least, that's what I remember of the way it was coded.)  I think the letter in question was sold at Sotheby's in London a few years ago.
