I find myself running a finger over both those signatures and wondering if I might pick up some vibe from them through the mists of time. I'm thrilled to have found this treasure, and I hope others enjoy Kirsty's wonderfully informative report about it as much as I have. Thanks so much for building a great story from this checque, Kirsty! I think Rossetti must have seen Fanny as his rock, always the same in the midst of his maelstrom of a life. I think she was a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)sort of person who called him out on foolish or bad behavior, commonly known in the American South refer as "not acting right." We all need someone like that in life, and it's a pity she couldn't keep him from dosing himself into poor health and an early death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-5819622873888927642012-03-29T18:04:37.940+01:002012-03-29T18:04:37.940+01:00When you start doing the math, it sort of puts the...When you start doing the math, it sort of puts their relationship in a different context. However 'casual' his friends and relations wanted to dismiss the relationship as, when you think about the amounts of money, it obviously was worth something quite profound to Rossetti. I think that might have been what drove William Michael to want to cast Fanny out so completely. I can't thank Lila enough for getting in touch, it was such a thrill.Kirsty Stonell Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342964877965021654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-9127927996617029532012-03-29T17:36:09.195+01:002012-03-29T17:36:09.195+01:00I LOVED seeing this!
