I must confess I am not a Native American,( however Tennessee is home to the most caves in the United States and the birthplace of David "Davy" Crockett who was a colonel in the militia of Lawrence County but don’t mention his French-Huguenot ancestry) but then neither was Chingachgook; The Last of the Mohicans.
So perhaps you can imagine my chagrin as my disquietude increased proportionately to the news that the French have demand the Crown Jewels from the Queen of England to compensate for the 1499 murder of Edward Plantagenet.
Angers, which is in the Loire Valley west of Paris, was once the capital of the Anjou province and the House of Plantagenet. It ruled England from 1154 until 1485, providing some of the greatest monarchs in British history, including Richard the Lionheart and Henry V.
Now, call me the bitch from hell if you will, but after what the French did to Bart Simpson, I find myself agreeing with Admiral Horatio Nelson when he said, “You must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil”. As if that was not clear enough he later added, “My blood boils at the name of a Frenchman”. Although he failed to actually name him!
It therefore beholds me to note that had it not been for kindness personified in the guise of CI, who I assume is not French; unless he hails from French Indochina, in providing proof that the captain is once again enjoying the company and delights of one of the Art Deco centers of the world; one can now safely assume she did not succumb to the Hound of the Baskervilles and we all know; Baskerville is an English surname of Anglo-Norman origin and is believed to have been used by Normans from Boscherville (Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville)!
Verily I say unto you; beware Jesuits bearing gifts. Ad maiorem Dei gloriam.
Please excuse the Francophile deviancy for my primary reason to visit with y’all today was to rejoice at the possible return of the prodigal kid and the celebration of the Fatted calf.
