gnu ~~ the jokes above about the royals were all predicated on the fact that they must have murdered the unfortunate young woman because her body was found on her land ~~ heeheehee, how very witty!; so that she came, by a sort of synechdoche or association, merely a part of the joke: her corpse was paid no respect in itself, & hence neither was she as a person, but merely used as an occasion for some facetious remarks, in IMO vile taste, about the royals. So the jokes were about her at that: she was an implicit, & most disrespectfully integrated, part of them.

Do you really not get this?
