Well I suppose on the plus side, she doesn’t have to put up with George anymore. Here’s a sketch of the whole family together in one room. That may not have actually happened. George and Caroline sitting, Fred on the other side of the room, the 3 elder girls and the 3 younger kiddies.

Yes, it is a big fat tax being proposed and that will annoy lots of people.

Not looking that good for our Churchie types. We have a new idea in government – government tells religion what to do. Walpole will get Bishop Gibson of London on the case to help out.
