Three Million Pound Book

I saw it today.

Remember when I told that story?

Well, imagine my surprise today when I was standing in front of a glass case and had a strange feeling. The case was exactly the same as the one that had held the objects in the dream gallery.

Sotheby's. That's where I was. But today, there was no glass inside the case, only a book.

The whole reason I went to see the book was because Catherine sent me this story.

Henry VI was married to Margaret of Anjou (just in case you didn't know).

Yes. Well. It is in remarkably good condition for being nearly 400 years old. I would have loved to have held it...again?

Propitious*, or not? I can't decide.

*This is my Wednesday word. propitious (adj.): being of good omen
