Colonel Fitzwilliam's manners were very much admired at the Parsonage, and the ladies all felt that he must add considerably to the pleasures of their engagements at Rosings.
"NATURAL GAS IS DISCOVERED NEAR A CHURCH PARSONAGE," Sault Star. September 21, 1912. Page 1.

Not the Usual Kind From Such Institutions, Still Flow is Strong.

(Canadian Press Despatch Over Sault Star Special Wire.)
Peterboro, Sept. 21. - Natural gas was struck yesterday on the grounds of the parsonage of St. Joseph's Church, Druro, of which Rev. Father McGuire is parish priest. A man was at work deepening an old well on the premises, when a flow of natural gas developed, compelling the digger to beat a hasty retreat. The nature of the gas was tested by applying a match. It burned brightly. The flow has persisted for several hours, and is still strong. The place in five miles east of Peterboro.
[Very high quality dig at churches as producers of another kind of gas - hot air.]
This is a repost from 2018 and while some of my readers back then are still my readers now, I ran across it and thought it was time to share it again. Funny how things stick with me years and years later. Thanks for reading…again.
I have been going through old photographs recently and it has been a blast from the past.
My siblings and I are lucky enough to have had all of my daddy’s slides…

The joy of seeing a daughter well married is a satisfaction generally attributed particularly to the lady's mother, but it must be said that Mr. Morland, in performing the ceremony that joined his eldest daughter to the man of her choice in his very own church, exactly equalled his wife in happiness. Indeed, both the bride and groom were so beloved by all those assembled, and the couple themselves so glowing with felicity, that a merrier scene could scarcely be imagined.
Catherine, while quite unused to be the focus of so much attention, submitted to it very happily while she had Henry by her side, and when she was finally handed into the carriage that was to take them both to Woodston, it was with as lovely a glow of happiness surrounding her as the most blessed bride of any novel.
A carriage conveying a newly wed couple to the future home of their choice cannot fail to be an object of interest to every author's pen. In such a carriage one may comfortably place all hopes and expectations, everything felicitous and romantic. The carriage in question had very little to recommend itself in the way of romance, however. Its appearance was sturdy, rather than fine, and its horses were neither midnight black nor dappled grey. Grievous faults indeed, but it said much of our young bride's felicity, that she was wholly insensible of these defects; Catherine had never loved a carriage better, and even thirty miles into their journey could find no fault with it.
Henry was of exactly the same mind, his spirits were so high that he could hardly go fifteen minutes without either sweet praise or teasing nonsense spilling from his lips. The servants having been sent ahead early that morning there were no attendants to check his spirits, it was “my dearest Catherine” and “Catherine, my darling,” at every turn.
Such a repetition, if spoken with grave sincerity, might carry some risk of wearying even the most affectionate bride; but in being spoken with the express intent to fluster and amuse, they could not but be effective. Catherine smiled and smiled again, looking lovelier every time, and at times being as near to preening as her unpretending nature would allow.
A necessary stop to tend to the horses likewise put a temporary stop to his amusement. Mischief gave way to all the attentiveness and courtesy of an affectionate husband, and when, at the end of the hour’s wait, he handed Catherine back into the carriage, it was with no design beyond expressing his sincere satisfaction that he spoke:
“There we are, Mrs. Tilney.”
Catherine, whose eagerness to be off again had her stepping into the carriage with great alacrity, very nearly lost her footing in her sudden attempt to look back at him, and then made a great effort to hide her face while hastily taking her seat.
Such a marked change in countenance could not escape his notice, however, and the door of the carriage had scarcely been closed on them, before he inquired, with affected surprise ill disguising his delight:
“Is something the matter, Mrs. Tilney?”
Catherine only shook her head. To hear herself called “Mrs. Tilney” by her own family and all their kind friends had been so very gratifying that she had not at all been prepared to find the delight in hearing Henry himself do so quite ten times as great.
Stolen van Gogh Painting Worth Millions Returned in a Ikea Bag
The painting was stolen in March 2020 from the Singer Laren Museum.
A Dutch art detective has helped recover a missing Vincent van Gogh painting that was stolen from the Singer Laren Museum, east of Amsterdam, in March 2020.
The "Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring," painted in 1884, was stolen from the famous Dutch museum in a daring overnight smash-and-grab heist during the coronavirus lockdown.
Dutch art crime detective Arthur Brand, who has spent decades tracking down some of the world's greatest masterpieces, announced on Tuesday he had recovered the stolen masterpiece.
In a video posted on Brand's Instagram, the detective can be seen unwrapping the coveted artwork, holding it up as he poses for the camera.
"So here it is! The Spring Garden by Vincent van Gogh which was stolen three and a half years ago on Van Gogh's birthday from a museum in the Netherlands. We have searched for it for more than three and a half years," he said.
Brand said he was able to recover the famous artwork in "close coordination" with Dutch police, deeming it a "great day for all Van Gogh lovers worldwide."
The painting -- estimated to be worth between about $3.2 million to $6.4 million -- was handed to Brand by an unnamed man in a blue Ikea bag at his Amsterdam home, he said.
"Finally, it's here, it's back," said Brand, announcing he is set to return it today to the Singer Laren Museum director.
The recovery followed the emergence of "proof-of-life" photos of the painting circulating in online Mafia circles in June 2020, three months after the dramatic heist. One of the images showed the multimillion-dollar artwork -- which measures 25-by-57 centimeter -- flanked alongside a copy of The New York Times international edition and a book about a famous art thief.
In April 2021, Dutch police spokesperson Maren Wonder announced in a video statement that a 58-year-old man, named only as Nils M, was arrested in Baarn, Netherlands, on suspicion of stealing paintings by van Gogh and Frans Hals with an accumulative value of £18 million, or about $22.4 million.
"This arrest is an important step in the investigation," Wonder announced at the time. "Both paintings have not yet resurfaced with this arrest. The search continues unabated."
In a statement sent Tuesday, Dutch Police confirmed that the perpetrator was in custody and that the famous painting has been recovered, soon to be ready to be viewed by the public.
"The perpetrator is in custody and the painting is back. We are very happy with that result," said Richard Bronswijk, of the Dutch Police's Art Crime Unit.
"We know hat these types of items are used as collateral within organized crime. Intercepted messages have given us good insight into the criminal trade in these types of valuable objects."
The penalty for stealing a painting is imprisonment of 8 years.
"The search for Frans Hals' painting continued unabated."
