drawing.
now George, as it happens the list's Subcommittee on Listmommie Compensation
was just about to vote to get you that Raphael, but some Spoil Sport
questioned whether it was really middlevil or not and might it not be entirely
inappropriate, so it was decided to just give you one of the more practical
items shown in the Jacob van Hulsdonck still life instead (we thought that the
loverly "pig's trotters" would be particularly fitting).
you will be receiving them as soon as the Committee has "finished" preparing
them to look more like they do in the painting.
bone appertete.
c
p.s. so, howscome the Devonshire Collection is dumping this stuff? too many
bad euro investments Gone South?
