    First: I love, love, love your web site and already subscribe. Next: What happened to “D”? An oversight? Or did he not do “D”?

    Fantastic! Another Cruikshank masterpiece!

    But what happened to the “D”? I have a personal investment in that one!

    Thanks!

    B for Boots and W for Waistcoat made me laugh out loud – if I had boots like that I’d stride all over town!
