Ishiguro conspicuously drops Β relative pronouns in his renderings of dialogs in his medieval story .

What can it be Β makes everyone, yourself included, forget she ever lived?

Was there something that stranger said just now Β got you thinking of it?

But why do you say it's my wishes always Β stood in the way of it?

He has peasants and noblemen all speak that way, perhaps to create a feel of medieval times Β . Β But is that in fact a feature Β of Old English? Β  Can it be a valid style Β even today? Β A dialectal feature ?
