In looking back through the collection of "jolly" references in SW, I see nothing there that implies that "jolly" is meaning "happy" as all these references seem to mean, "very". Of course this calls for a judgement on the part of a foreigner, so I could jolly well have made some error in this observation.
Pam, I'm quite sure you went "fishing" for me on this one. You know very well I could not ignore such a challenge. It is my delight and pleasure to serve such requests as always.
