I said I'd pay money

Now I need to know what I owe Roberta-in-law (mother of Mrs. Dunce).

Amanda gets the big house...

While Heather-in-law is relegated to the hard life of a pioneer.

Even then, the future Mrs. Dunce was no fool. "She always did have champagne tastes!" says her mother. Which, of course, is why she hooked up with the Dunce in the end.

It may not be my fabulous silk -- gee, Roberta, what were you thinking in depriving your daughters??? ha ha -- but the pictures were a hoot, and the Noblesvillian and I agree the young ladies in question grew up just fine despite the shocking upbringing. Taking them to an olde tyme place! Dressing them in old clothes! SHOCKING!

Oh my goodness, she really did send them to you. I did love that house, the Martin Mitchell Mansion. It was great to open up in the mornings when you could kind of pretend it was yours. And one Christmas programme when I had a broken leg, I actually got to sit in a chair so I could still do tours. You cna see Naper Settlement here http://www.napersettlement.org/. Must do work now.

I had no use for those stuffy Victorians! I loved telling people how to make candles out of lard and where "Sleep tight" comes from, etc. I was even greatly entertained one day by carding wool all afternoon. That did only last one day, though.
