..the pursuit of love..

Over the chimney-piece plainly visible in the photograph hangs an entrenching tool, with which , in 1915, Uncle Matthew had whacked to death eight germans one by one as they crawled out of a dug-out. It is still covered in blood and hairs, an object of fascination to us children.


from "The Pursuit Of Love" by Nancy Mitford
