This man had a daughter quite late in life. (this daughter lived between 1903 and 1990, and is therefore remembered by my whole family - except me, I was born six years after her death).

It was an old friend of the author who had been friends with an old sailor in his youth, who had recalled as a young man coming across a crowd who was gathering to see a man "broken on the wheel" as a method of execution. I think the event had taken place in the 1840s and was basically showing how we were only 2 or 3 full generations from total brutality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-76571395380854184842011-05-10T08:56:38.960-04:002011-05-10T08:56:38.960-04:00A lovely story.

This morning was a trumpet concerto written especially at the request of the Queen, to be played at a Feast at Versailles. I could just see her, in a gorgeous gown, laughing, dining, whispering with her friends.Katherine Louisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-65789543914466745012011-05-09T13:32:05.325-04:002011-05-09T13:32:05.325-04:00Isn't that just amazing?
