It was a labor of love. Glad you enjoyed it!
An annotation you might like to add to “The Gift of the Emperor” —
Raffles, bidding Bunny goodbye, says, “this may be for years and it may be forever, you know.” This is a quotation. “It may be for years and it may be forever” is from a popular song, from 1837, “Kathleen Mavourneen.” This was the only hit song of English composer Frederick Crouch (lyrics by a Mrs. Crawford, of whom nothing much else seems to be known).
I’m so embarrassed! I know the song; have even sung it (badly), but never noticed!
Wow, thank you so much for this incredible resource. I can’t wait to read the stories ❤️
