Helena Whitbread sits down in the writing parlor to share how she deciphered the meaning of the unique symbols that appeared in the margins of Anne Lister's diaries, in addition to the secret crypthand coded words. Anne used the symbols to mark significant little events throughout her days. (Helena Whitbread talking) Transcript (auto-generated) Search in video (0:00) when you are reading Anne Lister's (0:03) journals and almost forensic(ly) examining (0:06) the muscle(?) (them as I) suppose I have done over 35 years in the beginning that you begin you don't take much notice of what's in the margins, but as time goes on I began to get curious because you have a lot of symbols in the margins they were ... There would be a tick if someone visited or a tick and a C (?) if she visited someone else there would be [L] where she got a letter (0:33) Those were pretty straightforward symbols but they were a couple of esoteric symbols which it took me a while to work out and (0:42) I would see that there was a cross in the margin and then there would be a little in her (Krypton(!)) Crypt-Hand that said it incurred a cross last night and it took me awhile what what is she is "incurring" here and then it dawned on me that it was actually masturbation this is something yes and she thought it was a great sin (1:08) to perform that act so the cross to me was symbolic of something [rather] religious because she said ["incurred a cross"] if you incur something it means you've brought something on yourself so that you that is bad (1:29) yes so [incurred a cross] to me it was a sign of penitence and it was really always followed with [please God I would pray to God to help me] and that sort of thing so that's where she drew the line about what was acceptable and what was yes sometimes it was just them if she'd had sex with anybody would be two "kisses"(?) last night two crosses so it could stand(?) for either : having sex with with a woman having sex with herself oh that was both and there was really the (2:03) one which took me ages to find out as well about this is a funny one and it was like a curly "Q" and that I realized afterwards that that meant she had a very very very satisfactory sexual kiss with a woman. (the interviewer laughs) --- a bit curious that nobody mentions Samuel Pepys's diaries. lots of naughty stuff, coded passages e.g. -------- >>> Pepys' diary was written in shorthand so could not easily be read by a casual ... "as to hazer me hazer la grande cosa " = [make me make the great thing (orgasm)] ...
