...good Calvinists looked upon wealth as a sign that they were among God's elect, those clothes were frequently expensive, ornate garments in the latest European styles. In Jeremiah Theus' 1753 formal portrait of Ralph Izard, for instance, the young man wears an immaculate gentleman's outfit, complete with ruffled shirt and silver-trimmed tricorn hat. All of twelve years old, he is painted as lord of the manor, stiffly gesturing toward his property...

"I'm called 'Governor,' not 'Governess' of the planet," says Lynley matter-of-factly. "Apparently there is no delineation of sex in the future...
...actually two pictures, an old-fashioned double feature consisting of a black-and-white boxing story, Dynamite Hands, and a Technicolor backstage musical, Baxter's Beauties of 1933. Both are supposed to be program features, that is, routine fare produced by the same mythical studio, Warren Bros., an outfit definitely to be confused with Warner Bros...
