living picture

A single father, he had been living abroad and returned when his mother was diagnosed with cancer.

She looked from the picture to her daughter, with a frightful glare, in their before mild aspect.

Each picture bore a label, giving a true description of the once-honoured gem.

And sure enough when Sunday came, and the pencil was restored to him, he promptly showed nurse his picture.

To be so humbled in the knowledge of any living being, was the vultures of Prometheus to the proud heart of Ripperda.

The living (value £250) is in the gift of trustees, and is now held by the Rev. M. Parker, Vicar.
