Dutchy, are the statues mythological?
Hint: It is a statue dedicated to a great Admiral!
Yes Letty, but who and where
?
Well, Dutchy, I have been searching, but no matching picture. Would it be a statue dedicated to Admiral Nelson in Trafalgar Square, London, England?
It is ideed a statue dedicated to Admiral Horatio Nelson but not in Trafalgar Square, London.
No wonder I couldn't find the picture, and no wonder you couldn't find Hawthorne.
(she's a he)
Ok, England but not London. I need to eat something, but I'll shall return and keep looking, Dutchy.
While I am waiting for my crab cakes to cook, let's try Norfolk, England. Perhaps you will tell me if I am on the right side of the island.
Norfolk is correct, now think about "Rule Brittania".
My word, Dutchy. I know that song. Okay, I'll keep trying.
You do that Letty, in the meantime I'm going out for a while, running late as usual! Will be back later. You are on the right track!
"The monument, known as the Britannia Monument is similar in form but about 2/3 the size of its Trafalgar Square counterpart, was originally planned to mark Nelson's victory at the Nile, but fundraising was not completed until after his death and it was instead dedicated to the "Lord Admiral".
Charles Dickens used Yarmouth as a key location in his novel David Copperfield. Anna Sewell (1820-1878), the author of Black Beauty, was born in a 17th-century house in Church Plain."
Francis you have stolen Letty's thunder, she was going to reveal all when she gets up in the morning.
Miss Letty is a nice person, I don't think she will be upset...
Not one bit upset, y'all. Go Francis.
Well, Francis, I will wager that it's NOT in the U.S., right?
Wrong, Miss Letty.
It IS in the United States.
Oh, my gosh, Francis. I thought that would be too obvious. Well, it is NOT the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, so it must be in some other state. How about Virginia? <smile>
