He contrasted it with the independent scene, which encouraged resourcefulness and established an alternative network of clubs, promoters, fanzines, DJs and labels, and allowed musicians to make a reasonable income due to the system's greater efficiency.

Lefroy and Austen would have been introduced at a ball or other neighbourhood social gathering, and it is clear from Austen's letters to Cassandra that they spent considerable time together: "I am almost afraid to tell you how my Irish friend and I behaved. Imagine to yourself everything most profligate and shocking in the way of dancing and sitting down together."Quoted in Le Faye (2004), 92.

Luke 7 is considerably longer than the other narratives, and the host of the party in Luke, Simon the Pharisee, fails to offer the usual or expected acts of hospitality for a guest: water for the feet, a kiss (for the cheek), and oil for the head (cf.

See James L. Resseguie, “The Woman Who Crashed Simon’s Party: A Reader-Response Approach to Luke 7:36-50,” in Characters and Characterization in Luke-Acts, ed.

Imagine to yourself everything most profligate and shocking > in the way of dancing and sitting down together. I can expose myself > however, only once more, because he leaves the country soon after next > Friday, on which day we are to have a dance at Ashe after all.

Simon the Leper is sometimes identified with Simon the Pharisee (see Shimon ben Gamliel), who is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke as the host of a meal during which the feet of Jesus are anointed by a penitent woman.Sir William Smith, A dictionary of the Bible, Volume 2 1863 p. 78 Because of some similarities, efforts have been made to reconcile the events and characters, but some scholars have pointed out differences between the two events.
