ATDDTA(11) Lady (Grundy) [303:23]+ [317:7-16]

[Keith]

[303:22-23] "offering occasion to be sure," as Merle put it, "for  
Grundyesque screaming"

Mrs. Grundy is an imaginary English character who typifies the  
censorship enacted in everyday life by conventional opinion. She  
first appears (but never onstage) in Thomas Morton's play Speed the  
Plough (produced 1798), in which one character, Dame Ashfield,  
continually worries about what her neighbour Mrs. Grundy will say of  
each development.

in the parental arts, many indeed putting in with strenuous  
objection. "Allowing a child to journey without adult supervision  
across two-thirds of a continent to a nexus of known depravity such  
as New York City would certainly bring prosecution in many if not  
most courtrooms of the land---"
    "Let alone judgment in the dock of Christian Morality, certain  
and pitiless, by That Which all temporal powers, judges included,  
must one day bow to---"
   "Lady," observed the impertinent snip under discussion" [...]

"Grundyesque screaming" objects to Merle's parenting style regarding  
sexuality on p.303 and regarding individuation on p.317.
