Thank you!
There's some Parkin left. So I will serve it with decaffeinated tea tonight -- since it'll be after 4 p.m. ;-D -- and with English breakfast tea -- yum! one of my favorites! -- tomorrow morning.

The computer crashed before I concluded my cousin-related comment.
Is the age or the name of Willcox Smith's cousin known?
It might be quite interesting to compare her and Willcox Smith's professional lives.
Information under the third fact, ...

The computer crashed before I completed my comment concerning fish fare in seafood-serving wedding parties.
Is the etiquette that it's okay to have different kinds of fishes but only to a specified number of genera or within a specified family?

Jessie Willcox Smith: Her Life Through Art and Paintings
The first fact advises us that Willcox Smith changed career plans from kindergarten-teaching to artwork-creating thanks to a cousin.
Is it known what kind of cousin -- first, second, third, maternal, paternal? -- that relative was?

Understanding faith
Online sources associate the R.M. Hare term blik with something that may resist its being proven false even as it may not be true.
Is that the meaning that R.M. Hare intended?

Yesterday I devoted myself to hand-mowing the north and the south yards in front of the house. It felt like all day long even as it only lasted from 1:34 p.m. to 5:33 p.m.
I like the forest-floor look that hand-mowing makes against turf grass ...

The computer crashed before I completed my comment concerning non-seafood versus seafood wedding-party fare.
Does seafood fare for a wedding party have to be all the same, such as the same kind of fish for everyone?

Franz Stassen
Franz Stassen being politically correct in terms of Nazi-defined political correctness causes me to ponder what might have happened had he not, as your wizzley concludes, been "hanging with the most influential and powerful people."
We still ...

The third paragraph to your introduction alerts us to the fact that "Miss Smith's art is very popular among collectors today. An original illustration can easily achieve several thousand dollars."
All the representations that I have seen of ...

Jessie Willcox Smith: Her Life Through Art and Paintings
It's interesting that Jessie Willcox Smith modeled her children on friend and neighborhood children.
Is there any etiquette for doing so? Might it just be the immortalization for posterity or might there have been some kind of recompense?

Is Genuine Moissanite Natural or Synthetic Gemstone?
The meteorite sites cause me to consider whether moissanite occurs in just certain shapes, sizes and types of meteorites.
The recent image of two asteroids from the Lucy spacecraft flyby makes me wonder if one day natural moissanite will ...

Franz Stassen
The image of Frank Stassen causes me to ponder how I'd interpret it had I not read your wizzley.
How do I interpret it?
The information in the wizzley gets me thinking of his sideways glance as ingratiatingly, tremulously over his shoulder to ...
