Whenever I come across HA in other people's memoirs, I have always had the faint feeling that he was a bit of a fraud, but not enough real knowledge to know for sure ... on the other hand, there were people who really loved him (in particular Iris Origo)<BR/><BR/>Pear souffle sounds good<BR/><BR/>JoannaJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790888857849562408noreply@blogger.com
