Hi Stan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You never guess what has happened to me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pray tell <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I visited the Keats-Shelley House yesterday <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can thoroughly recommend it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I agree it is wonderful <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later I sat on the Spanish Steps just taking in Rome when an Italian Count (are they not all Italian Count’s ) started chatting to me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that he was the owner of De Mari Group and had noticed me at the meeting yesterday <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that I was a beautiful woman <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where it gets strange as he said that on his English side he was distantly related to Lord Byron <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I am related to the Dalai Lama <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a chat up line <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that I resembled Lady Caroline Lamb <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Larry the Lamb more like <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Funny Man Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that his intentions were honourable <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But would I dine with him <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which I did <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you jealous <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No should I be <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are not my possession <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have many female friends <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are partners <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Married partners <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love you and you hate me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a good mix <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ying and Yang <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Were his intentions honourable<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Very much <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He offered me a job <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Rome <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you accept <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sensible <\/p>\n\n\n\n
St P to Rome it is not that far <\/p>\n\n\n\n
England to France then turn left <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was obviously after you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you note your marriage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had heard of you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did he like my poetry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was not discussed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typical <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Count was writing a book about Caroline Lamb <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interesting <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He mentioned in passing the pubic hair <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public hair <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is common knowledge <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what I did not know was that Caroline at the beginning of her affair with Byron sent him a lock of her hair <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was a quite common practice in those days <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It had been cut when she was fourteen <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He showed me a facsimile of a letter from Caroline to Byron <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018as you like curiosities I send you a relic of Lady Caroline Ponsonby aged 14 \u2013 & I request you keep it for her sake.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n By the 9th of August 1812 she was cutting her pubic hair for him and sending it with another letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was an interesting intimacy and probably the reason Napoleon invaded Russia <\/p>\n\n\n\n Invade England Non <\/p>\n\n\n\n With all those crazzie English persons around it will not end well <\/p>\n\n\n\n Silly Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n It does however show the early signs of her decent into a madness as she was obsessed with Byron <\/p>\n\n\n\n I was wondering if the Count wanted a token from me <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some flowers from my Lady Garden <\/p>\n\n\n\n But alas this would not be possible <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thrush <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n I am quite smooth now Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is much cleaner <\/p>\n\n\n\n At least for the summer <\/p>\n\n\n\n I wondered why the plug was blocked <\/p>\n\n\n\n I changed the sheets for no reason then <\/p>\n\n\n\n Come again <\/p>\n\n\n\n Well there was a musty smell <\/p>\n\n\n\n And you thought it was me <\/p>\n\n\n\n No <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thrush is not much fun Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n I never said it was <\/p>\n\n\n\n You are a grade one Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n I was waiting for that compliment <\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you get a rash <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rash <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes when you ploughed your lady garden <\/p>\n\n\n\n You have such a romantic ways of putting things <\/p>\n\n\n\n But no I did not suffer a rash <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bad things rashes <\/p>\n\n\n\n My face is so sore sometimes <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Count asked if I would correspond with him <\/p>\n\n\n\n Will you <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes if you do not mind <\/p>\n\n\n\n You are not my possession Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n This said if your lot are dealing with his lot then this might be to your advantage <\/p>\n\n\n\n Always the cynic Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n But I love and miss you <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just practical Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just practical <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi Stan You never guess what has happened to me Pray tell I visited the Keats-Shelley House yesterday I can thoroughly recommend it I agree it is wonderful Later I sat on the Spanish Steps just taking in Rome when an Italian Count (are they not all Italian Count’s ) started chatting to me, He […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13377"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13406,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13377\/revisions\/13406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
