We had to take a “growler,” for the day looked rather threatening and we agreed that it would be a very bad way of beginning our holiday by getting wet, especially when Fanny was only just coming round from the whooping cough. Holidays were rather scarce with us, and when we took one we generally arranged some little treat, and went in for enjoying ourselves. On this occasion we were starting off from Hammersmith to the Alexandra Palace in all the dignity of a four-wheeler.

*◼: Genghis Khan was defeated in two major battles and seven minor skirmishes in his life, each time against the same opponent: Sultan Jalaluddin Khwarazm Shah. The only enemy Genghis Khan paid tribute to for bravery was Jalaluddin. Nur-ud-din Korlakh had rightly said that Sultan Jalal-ud-din was the ransom of the Muslim world. Had it not been for this, the story of the destruction of the Muslim world at the hands of Genghis Khan would have been much longer and more interesting. Had his father accepted his advice to fight Genghis, the history of the world might have been different.

John Singleton Copley’s Watson and the Shark (1778
It’s too late to save the leg, which has been bitten off below the knee. But Brook Watson, the floating blonde youth depicted in Copley’s oil painting, will be rescued from the jaws of this tiger shark and go on to enjoy a long life as a London merchant, becoming Lord Mayor in 1796 and a baronet in 1803. His rise bred envy: “in spite of his later elevation”, wrote one of Copley’s detractors, “there are those whose sympathy is with the shark”.
