but if beauty lived in the IIRC and spoke whatever they spoke, why would
she make a point of mentioning that she'd forgotten most of her french
without bothering to mention whether of not she'd forgotten most of her
English, especially considering that most of the books she reads, apart
from latin and greek, are by british authors? not to mention that if she
were living in france/IIRC, it seems kinda funny that she wouldn't mention
[m]any french writers in her own reading/the beast's library - i think the
predominance of kipling, browning, etc, is evidence enough of the english
setting without belaboring the possibility of france
