Carlotta in Ottawa 5/5

That's the last page of the "Carlotta in Ottawa" episode. I'll share another story soon!

Source note: This episode is a shameless meld of phrasing from two sources--a book called Careers of Danger and Daring by Cleveland Moffett, and an article from the Ottawa Citizen (July 3, 1883). Both sources are in the public domain.

Maggie and the Sheep

I came across this anecdote in a book about the Egyptologist Margaret Benson. It's a morsel from a letter she wrote to her mother in 1892. Nothing dramatic--just a little something to help start your day. Like a timbit.*
