Violet has figured in this thread before, in the early days, I think - I recall boggling at the ménage and recalling that clavichordist now seems like a euphemism.
I need to look back and see what letter we're supposed to be aiming at... it's not clear from the last few posts
What was the Dennis - football link, ammy? And who the hell is Baillie Vass?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Baillie Vass is Private Eye's other name for Sir Alec Douglas-Home, former PM
Do I get any points for these tutorials?
