Thank you!

Online sources describe pea pods of such species as snap and sugar peas edible and of such species as garden and sweet peas as inedible.

Do you compost all pea pods or only inedible pea pods?

Thank you!

It's interesting that a priest does not have to make and respond to his own confession, Last Rites or simple "I'm sorry" to God.

Non-priests may baptize. Would it be sufficient for any non-priest to say "I'm sorry"?

Thank you!

Online sources appear to give only the priestly name.

Is Dom Maurus Deegan's birth name known?

Thank you again for the WizardofOz images link!

The introductory image before the first 26 in-text images from the Denslow output appears to caption "The wizard blew a bubble around Santa Claus." It appears to contain an artist signature just too small for deciphering.

Is there any artist-attribution information?

Beauty appears more interesting for how she braves, for her family, an unexpected situation with an unknown outcome. It correlates with Persephone, for all creation and for her family, braving Hades.

Beast furnishes interest as someone whose sad story may end poorly or well for himself, for those near him, for all creation.

Your third sentence informs us that "It's interesting to note that Beauty (sometimes named Belle) never sparked as nearly as much inspiration as the Beast."

What difference in their characters and their story might make Beauty more inspiring than Beast?

Thank you for the 10th subheading, Online Collections on Specific Topics by Enthusiasts:, linking to The wizard of Oz in pictures.

The fourth image makes me think of the in-text meeting of Dorothy with Glinda the Good.

Mightn't Glinda seem a bit surprisingly shown?

I tend to think of her as glamorously stylish!

Thank you for the linked Oz in the 10th subheading, Online Collections on Specific Topics by Enthusiasts!

It's interesting that the first Oz book inspired 13 more by L. Frank Baum even as it's sad that the copyright status only protects the 1939 film version.

Might you have come across the Wicked treatment by Gregory Maguire?

The 8th subheading, It inspired numerous adaptations for different media, advises us that "Bugs Bunny performed in the role of the rescuer two decades later [in 1954]."

English Wikipedia describes Bewitched bunny as 6 minutes 56 seconds long.

Did the Bugs Bunny version inspire criticism or praise?

(Just under 7 minutes seems like not much time for such a plot!)

The highest point in Britain is 4414 feet, Ben Nevis. It is part of the Three Peaks challenge, which combines the top peaks of England, Scotland and Wales. In Ireland the highest peak is Carauntohil, there are no high peaks in Cornwall.

No. I don't think that the Virginia bluebell grows wild in Britain, and I have never grown them.

Yes, prodding is getting the peas from their pods. The pods can then be composted.

The last line before the second subheading, Name your images, advises us that "Just one more thing: use at least one image for every published article. A rule of the thumb is using one picture after every eight to twelve lines of text but rely on your feeling."

Is there any rule as to the amount of article- and image-related information to include in the captions below their image?

The two links, to Golden Retrievers and to the Wizard of Oz, at the very end of the 10th subheading, Online Collections on Specific Topics by Enthusiasts, particularly appeal to me.

The Oz link ends mentioning similar treatment of The emerald city of Oz.

How might that information be accessed?

The second paragraph to the second subheading, Harvesting and cleaning, considers peas podded and stored.

Does podding separate peas from their pods?

If so, what is the fate of those pods?

The fourth link to the seventh subheading, Digital libraries, advises us that "Hmmm… can't reach this pagegallica.bnf.fr took too long to respond[.] Try: Checking the connection[;] Checking the proxy and the firewall[;] Running Windows Network Diagnostics[.] ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" before the Refresh button.

The Refresh button doesn't change the inaccessibility situation.

Is there another way of accessing the Gallica-linked information?
