My Favorite Duke (The Duke Hunters Club, #2)

We’re having spotted dick!”

Spotteddick(also known as "spotteddog" or "railway cake") is a traditional British pudding, traditionally made with suet and dried fruit (usually currants or raisins) and often served with custard.Non-traditional variants include recipes that replace suet with other fats (such as butter), or that include eggs to make something similar to a sponge pudding or cake. I definitely wondered what the heck this was. LOL

leaped

I've never understood why writers of the regency period (especially) use the word leaped rather than leapt, and yet use the word learnt instead of learned. I feel more comfortable with it being leapt and learned. Learnt sounds so ignorant.https://writingexplained.org/learnt-vs-learned-difference Here is a helpful trick to rememberlearnedvs.learnt, and it is a pretty simple one. You should probably never uselearnt. It is only common in British English as a past tense verb, and even in that context, it is overshadowed bylearned.
