The sheer\nunexpectedness of the legacy makes it all\nthe more delightful. Life is so strange: we\noften get what we don't deserve and vice\nversa.\n\nThat photo of Herta,I assure you,doesn\u2019t\n'do her justice' as they say. She looks a\nlittle apprehensive. The car crash (she\nwas with'her husband) mu  have been a xxxx\npretty awful experience: waking up injured\nin hospital and being told her husband was\ndead. Anyway,the photo shows she isn\u2019t the\nEnglish conception of a busty hausfrau. You\nwill like her.\n\nThank Peggie for confirming my feeling\nthat one doesn't pay on legacies - the law\nkeeps being amended and I thought the\nbuggers might have changed it for the worse.\n\nGlad you saw Jack recently and that he's\nhappy to be xxxxx back, strikes etc. notwith-\nstanding. But how disappointing that he\n","Type":"Text"}}]
