Speaking of 1852 Florins . . .

. . . . one night Bishop Campbell slipped on the altar steps and fell, and this popped out from under his robe. Being a quick mus, I snatched it in mid-air before it could hit the aisle and scurried off to the safety of my wee little nest.....

We are speaking of 1852 Florins.

(It's an existential thing. Dada. We have arrived at where we started. You know. Mobius strip.)

I understand the bishop's language was most un-bishop-like ... certainly his choice of words might be understandable given the nature of his loss.

Is that a die crack on her neck or a trick of the light??

BEAUTIFUL coin either way!!!!

MacCrimmon · February 24, 2005 3:32AM

Yes, there is a super-fine die-crack running from the front of the shoulder to the point of the neck and chin, and it continues across her chin to the base of her nose.

good eye......

But did the bishop catch rabies from the bite you gave him before he dropped it?

What were you doing under the Bishops robes in the first place???
