It is unfair to Mills and Boon, Roger. We already have a couple of choice entries from what might be called "postcolonial studies/museology". The pretentious
jargon is stunning. Few of us have ever read a page of Mills and Boon we couldn't at least understand.
Speaking of museum labels, I came across one the other day at the new Museum of New Zealand. It was a rugby shirt worn by a national sports star. The label
helpfully explained that it was "made of cloth."
