A student just came to me with a great question.  Why do authors
use ---shire for locations or T----- for street names.  We are specifically
looking in Jane Eyre.  Was (is) this a tool to indicate location, but not
specific location?  Protect potential people that were used as a basis for
fictional characters?  Thanks, Rachelle Wynkoop
