I count 25 words mentioning this, NOT including Lynne's message. "Tchah!" [Bertie Wooster] ============================= Ah, but my dear Claire, that woman - Miss Catherine Winkworth - was obviously a BRAINY lass; and if you remember Bertie Wooster's biography, he'd always professed a strong disinclination to be found dead in a ditch with any of her ilk ... (grin) Without doubt Miss Catherine Winkworth was a born-genius, as her later life proves. Have a look at her online biography, which is at : http://www.ccel.org/cceh/archives/eee/winkwrth.htm -- Harshawardhan Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar Nagpur, India
