[D Akey]

So now I know why you are getting your legs wrapped from time to time. For length just like with ol' Henry so you're tall enough to ride the roller coaster. You getting any more regal in your dimensions from the nurses' coming to call? There's always the midway for some games and such.

You say it's confusing if it's by her or of her. I believe it's of her. But there's another detail that her name is spelled differently -- one L or two. Elizabeth Sidall or Sidal.

She was famously the model for many of the Pre-Raphaelites and also a poet in her own right. She passed away early in her 30s.

"When the two (she and Rossetti) moved in together, they became increasingly anti-social and absorbed in each other's affections. The lovers coined affectionate nicknames for one another, which included "Guggums" or "Gug" and "Dove" – one of Rossetti's names for Siddall. He also changed the spelling of her name to Siddal, dropping the second 'l'. . ." (from Wikipedia)

Anyway, a good start lad. You have a good eye for the big picture.

Henry would make a grand tavern sign to be sure. I think you've found a calling and way to trade out your paintings for a few pints and dinner -- maybe more. You could be a sign painter for pubs and brothels by command of the king.

Or maybe you could become a tattoo artist and put the king's mark on the backsides of all the working lassies in the realm. Sure would keep ye busy and coin in the royal purse.

Well, ye done Henery the VIII proud.

Go man go! Signage of the times.
