So many wonderful things. The John Nash fishscale restoration, the last Revolutionary veterans, the King George/George Washington frame--you couldn't make up that kind of story, and Lincoln Cathedral--one of the most beautiful in England. I enjoyed the "Handsome Children" post very much, but the language: "When the husband cometh into his wife’s chamber, he must entertain her with all kinds of dalliance, wanton behaviour, and allurements to venery" really suggests that this was a much much older advice book--perhaps even Jacobean?--reprinted in the Victorian era. Definitely not Victorian vocabulary.Chris Woodyardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-21661084028308984352013-07-07T06:32:28.589-04:002013-07-07T06:32:28.589-04:00Thank you, Quinn!

There's just so much awesome *stuff* out there on the internet - I'm delighted to be able to share even a fraction of it here.<br /><br />KRH - Sorry about the links mix. Sometimes my cutting & pasting just gets a little too hasty. The chopines link is where it should be now.
