Statistics on Works of Vickie



    Here are the entropy results on the complete works of Vickie, along
with the results of selected other texts.  (She did not have x, z, and
q, so I added one instance
of each of these for better comparison with the other texts.)

    Not terribly informative.  Her h1 is actually a little *less* than
normal
English, where Frances Dec's h1 is a little more, perhaps because she
doesn't use the long strings of adjectives that Dec does.
Of course, the sample size for her is rather small.
