Thanks.

Hunter has higher status in fairy tales. Woodcutters are by default at the bottom, maybe only charcoal burner is lower.

The Ghostlore of Windsor Castle

Few royal workers dwell in the palaces. The late queen had a friend who had rooms in Balmoral.

Did St Paul invent Christianity?

No. Like all Jesus' followers he led a quiet life and took a back seat, preferring to give honour and attention to Jesus.

Yes. Most, if not all, bird manure is good for soil. You have heard of guano, which is solid bird manure dug out ofbthe ground. English farmers used to use fossilizedvdinosaur dingbat manure. This was dug out of Jurassicbdepositsvin Southern England

Making Your Own Wine

Thank you for your comments below on Dec. 14, 2023, in answer to my previous-day observation and question.

Jar-bottom sediment ending as compost if one endeavors toward recycle-friendly efforts intrigues me.

Might it be possible to mix those dregs into bread and dessert dough for an interesting taste and texture?

The Ghostlore of Windsor Castle

Thank you for your comment below on Jan. 24, 2024, in answer to my previous-day observation and question.

Royal residences all must have designated family, personal, private areas and office, professional areas, correct? They must not mix the private and the professional even as the latter undoubtedly mandates employees, correct?

Would employees in the royal residences be distant or not-so-distant relatives or would they never be related to the royal residents?

Did St Paul invent Christianity?

Online sources associate the first name Lazarus with the Hebrew personal name אֶלְעָזָ for "God has helped."

Is there any Christian tradition about how Lazarus led his life after his raising by Jesus Christ?

Online and paper sources consider chicken manure among natural soil-maintaining, soil-rejuvenating, soil-strengthening resources.

Please do not consider the following question facetious. Does turkey manure get identified too as soil-friendly and soil-healthy?

Part 2 follow up to Jane Austen's house Chawton

The writing table continues to catch my attention.

Is the table top of beige- and brown-patterned marble? What is the wood base and support to that table-top surface?

Albert Dock, Liverpool

That padlock tradition covered by the fourth subheading, The Waterfront, prompts some pondering.

Would there be a tradition of wending one's way back to the waterfront fence to walk away with one's padlock were the secret load lightened?

Elizabeth Gaskell's House, Manchester

Albanian writer Ismail Kadare describes a main character in The concert as growing a lemon tree in her apartment.

So, influenced by Kadare writings as a narration of Albanian history from ancient Egyptian cultural nudges to nowadays, I notice when factual and fictitious niches nurture fruit-plant pots.

Online sources offer as a Victorian favorite potted orange trees!

Now what would Elizabeth Gaskell have worked into her house in fruit-plant pots? Lemon, lime, orange, nothing, something else?

P's next adventure - Rome, The Eternal City

Thank you for your comment below on Oct. 26, 2018, in answer to my previous-day observation and question.

Ancient Egyptians adored feline sentients as wise and wonderful. Did the ancient Romans -- and do the modern Romans -- display the same devotion?

10 Messages of Red Riding Hood

Thank you for the three links at the very end of this wizzley.

The Frances Brundage version intrigues me with her not invoking the overlapping forest itineraries of Red Riding Hood and the wolf and with his being killed without ingesting, if not at least intimidating, Grandma and Red Riding Hood.

What might have been the motivations and the motives for moving the above-mentioned episodes out of the traditional episode line-up?
