One last passage ...... wow......
'I doubt whether that practice of piety inculcated upon us by our womankind in early youth, namely, to be thankful because we are better off than somebody else, be a very rational religious exercise'
I haven't a clue what this passage is talking about.
One more question........... Does it sound more idiomatic if I write 'I haven't a clue about what this passage is talking about.'
Thanx

I'm not sure this is the most valuable kind of material to be reading-- or attempting to read-- JKB. The Victorian (or whatever) language is rather archaic, and of not much use today. ' 'Clue about what' and 'clue what' are both colloquial and equally viable as such.
