Thank you so much for solving the mystery on my blog, I'm absolutely thrilled (and I must say very slightly relieved) to hear his explanation. I'm also fascinated to see more about this church. A private church. This is most unusual and not something I've heard of before. So far, I have only clicked on the one link your brilliant son supplied, but I think the idea of a private church is most interesting - the history behind it, I mean - and so I'm going to look up more about it. <br />Have a great Easter!Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-12554825154513124762012-04-09T05:33:16.314-07:002012-04-09T05:33:16.314-07:00A bit of detective work (you know me) reveals that...A bit of detective work (you know me) reveals that the men depicted in the Nautilus Library were suffocating.Izzardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04068212650792238346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-11701842185907474092012-04-08T18:08:24.568-07:002012-04-08T18:08:24.568-07:00I did not post with the Sepias this week but I lik...I did not post with the Sepias this week but I like you grew up devoted to my local library.

I so loved the year I was selected to be the librarian's helper. I got to sit behind the tall desk and stamp the books that my classmates were checking out. I also got to put returned books back on the shelf.

I distinctly remember one Saturday reading all the books I had got in the morning, and returning them to the library in the afternoon to be told I couldn't have more on the same day. Ididn't, and still don't understand why.
