A friend says:
[A well-known auction house] have just sent me a catalogue for their December fashion auction (!). It includes a totally fetching 18th c Italian Episcopal breeches/waistcoat ensemble. Maybe someone will buy it for B-- D-----?
At £1,000 - £2,000 ($1,604 - $3,208) the outfit seems a bargain to me. Remember, although Thanksgiving has not yet arrived, Christmas is just around the corner. For B-- D----- or your own favorite bishop?
