The platonic relationship of Rex Whistler and Edith Olivier has always intrigued me, so it's good to know that there's an entire book on the subject--not that Laurence Whistler's biography of Rex glossed over that friendship. <br /><br />In any case, what a brilliant premise, Jennifer, for a post on rooms for relaxation and escape!Toby Worthingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494294732826925579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-46220533779458103392015-06-16T18:34:00.353-04:002015-06-16T18:34:00.353-04:00I could move into the Dower house at Badminton imm...I could move into the Dower house at Badminton immediately, saggy sofa and all!

(Bertrand Russell talks about Ottoline Morrell in his autobiography- speaking of a good read. He says he was besotted with her but she couldn't reciprocate because of his terrible halitosis.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-72743477319331675392015-06-16T11:24:43.159-04:002015-06-16T11:24:43.159-04:00will get this book + love it when you recommend. x...will get this book + love it when you recommend. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com peggy braswellhttp://peggybraswelldesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-20839234950915565562015-06-16T11:13:46.910-04:002015-06-16T11:13:46.910-04:00Jennifer, a book I am putting at the top of my lis...Jennifer, a book I am putting at the top of my list!
