My cookie, please!
Of course I enjoyed Josephine Tey's Daughter of Time and was willing to
be persuaded that Richard didn't kill the boys, but...
This is the first I've heard that the Princes in the Tower didn't even
die.
This whole exercise, and it's high seriousness, reminds me of a
"decoding" of Shakespeare's tomb inscription I once read. VERY tricky
and elaborate!
Interesting that when the "pun" works in English, it MUST be in
English, but when it works in French, it MUST BE in French....oh, how
do we know which to choose?
Are there really that many "maternity gowns" in the picture? And why is
one man's skin "waxy" by comparison instead of calling the other guy's
skin "ruddy"?I'm particularly fond of the green design that resembles
the veins of large animals....
Ah, well. Some people have a LOT OF TIME on their hands! Thanks for
beguiling a bit of mine!
