Anastasia's letters and notes

Does anyone know what "breeding worms" is? I've always wondered what it meant.

Breeding worms... Do you know what breeding is?
Click here for Websters definition and then just apply the worms.

Isn't that a little bit 'unlady' fore a Grand Duchess?

She was a bit of a tom-boy. Climbing trees is also a tad unladylike for a Grand Duchess, but Anastasia used to do that too!

yes georgiy is right... nastya was a tomboy. i think if she had a choice she would be wearing alexei's clothes... nastya did like to play in the mud... climb trees... make fun...

I just hope that "breeding worms" isn't slang for something completely different!

lol did they have "slang" back then?

So.. back to Anastasia's Letters....

["Господь им дал дар по молитвам их размягчать окаменелые наши сердца за их страдания..Мне думается, что если люди будут молиться Царской Cемье, оттают сердца с Божией помощью."]

"Biff me one" is probably slang.
I wish I could find some of her letters from 1917-18.    I've never read any from that time period. I think there was one from 1918 that I read but it was on NAOTMAA.net. I think they are still shut down though.

This is Anastasia we are talking about.

There has always been slang in every language. Yesterday's slang always sounds so dated to forthcoming generations. Who would call anyone "Old bean" these days, yet in the 1920s, it was slang.
