That's all for this week! See you on Monday, when we'll look at a story involving a ghost and hidden treasure...but with a bit of a twist. In the meantime, here's more medieval music. I like that everyone dressed properly for the occasion.
I've never heard of a 'canthal tilt', but it sounds like another arbitrary standard of beauty that should be ignored. And the story of Mr Farrier, the colonial secretary of British Honduras, doesn't surprise me: I've read that wild boars or hogs of any variety can be darn cantankerous in the wild.
