"There is one enchanting story of a day when the Prince was taken with his brother to Westminster Abbey. Dean Stanley had been asked to show them the treasures of the Abbey. Nobody could make the memorials of Westminister come to life again as Dean Stanley could with his vivid historic sense. In spite of his charm of the Dean’s stories, Prince George wandered away by himself. At last he was found in a dim little side chapel. He had scrambled on top of Queen Elizabeth’s tomb, and, looking down at the effigy, he was saying, “What an ugly old woman !’’
"According to the account written in the 1920s by an American journalist, Mabel Potter Daggett, George and Missy’s Malta romance actually went as far as to a series of kisses, the most important supposedly occurring on the occasion of Missy’s 14th birthday party. She was still ‘‘a flat little girl with golden hair hanging down her back.” But for the party, she’d graduated into her first bustle and hung a string of pink coral around her neck. Catching sight of Missy alone in a San Antonio gallery, George is supposed to have said, “I say, Missy, my word but you’re pretty,” then “caught her in his arms and kissed her.” There were more kisses to follow,” continued Mrs. Daggett, “for it was first love that had occurred to both.”

I’m waiting for certain fandoms to realize that these two men are based on the same historical person.
And that is this man.
Or is it known but just ignored?
AKA — One interpretation made him sexy. The other Jonathan Groffed him/Lin Manueled (Man-uel Handled???) him.
This isn't the first time. Last year, the IDF would leave behind explosives disguised to look like toys (they did this in Lebanon as well)

This sprawling 1930 home in Fennville, Michigan, only has 3bds and 1.5ba, just like an average home, but it's listed for $2.9M. So, what is taking up all the space in this huge home?
Oh, well for one thing, it's got to be this great room. Most of the letters fell off the blocks on the balcony, but it says "Showstoppers." There's a wood burning stove in the corner, and according to the floorplan, this is a living room.
Here're spiral stairs going up to a mezzanine and there's a carpeted area. The floorplan says that this is a sitting room.
It looks like there was hot tub here, but all that's left is the cover.
Across from the hot tub is a shower and maybe that's a sauna behind the door.
This is the half bath.
Well, the kitchen needs a remodel. You could probably get away with painting the cabinets and changing the hardware, but the walls. I wonder if you could open up that brick fireplace and if the cabinet is going around it and it's intact. Wouldn't it make a great pizza oven?
Back to the Showstopper room, the mezzanine has a very large space with a terrace.
According to the 2nd level floorplan this is a sitting room.
There are definitely bedrooms above the hot tub room.
And, these are bedrooms #'s 2 & 3.
The full bath is on the 2nd level.
The primary bedroom. It has a little sink in the corner, b/c the only full bath is upstairs.
This room has a bar. At least that's what I think it is. It also looks like it says "Showstoppers" on the fireplace, too, and it's the family room.
Here's the dining room. According to the floorplan, that's the back of the fireplace that's in the kitchen.
And, the sunroom.
On the side of the house is a 2 car garage.
The property is 5.2 wooded acres on Lake Michigan.
There's also a cute little log cabin on the property.
I don't know how far Lake Michigan is from the house, but this is a picture of it.
