the_mockturtleЯ вас достала со своими Уптонами, я знаю :) Но не могу не похвастаться очередным трофеем из "Culinary Campaign" Алексиса Сойера:
"In a short time we were at Mr Upton's house, and were very kindly received. Mr Upton is a very short, fair man, still young, and very pale. His daughters are two of the prettiest little girls I ever saw,
aged respectively nine and eleven years. He seemed to have suffered much from his confinement, but spoke highly of the treatment he had received from the English while in captivity. His goods were exposed
on view; and the sale was to take place a few days after. Having been set at liberty, he was about to return to his native place, near Atherstone in Warwickshire. Everything connected with that gentleman
and his family, as well as what relates to his late father, is too well known to require to be repeated."
Дочерей, сталбыть, все-таки две.
И имущество семейства добрые соотечественники пустили-таки с молотка.
