Thanks for your condolences

Thank you all for your sympathy during this past week. I'm doing much better now. I've started spoiling my husband's cat, and sometime in the spring I think we'll get a new kitten. For now, a pic of how I will always remember Gwyn:




Gwynnie the Pooh, Gwynnie the Pooh,
Chubby little kitty all stuffed with food,
It's Gwynnie the Pooh, Gwynnie the Pooh,
Silly willy nilly ol' cat!
(apologies to A.E. Milne)

Sweeney Todd

If any of you are interested in reading the original source for Sweeney Todd, it was a penny blood called "String of Pearls," published by Edward Lloyd. An electronic copy has been posted here:

It is based on the Wordsworth printed edition, so it may have some errors.
