My caridad engagement ring is Welsh gold, picked out in 1997 on a lovely trip in southwest Wales, while staying with friends. While the jeweler resized the ring, we skibbled up the coast to Harlech. Upon our return it was finished and ready for our commitment to each other. "Pemberly" sucked me in and the Welsh gold segment was a bonus!

I was here in 1998. 3 years after the Pride and Prejudice 1995. Loved the look of this place on the outside. Perfect Pemberley. I also saw Chatsworth that year. Amazing Estate for a Duke. Lyme was more suited for Mr. Darcy. Grandson of an Earl but not the Earl. Chatsworth is home to a Duke much higher. A prince can live in Chatsworth. You see it in Downton Abbey. I saw that house too in 1998. Home of an Earl but if they visit a Duke's home, the highest of the aristocratic homes, the home would be much bigger like double or triple than Downton or Lyme even though they are huge too. Different categories. Pride and Prejudice did the houses so carefully how it should be down. Longbourne I saw too in 1998. Grande for a lower gentry or landed gentleman. Gentry. 2005 made the Bennets look so poor and not well kept in appearance and Mr Darcy's home way too high. All done in my opinion not correct. Well the 1995 version filmed the miniseries like 6 to 9 months. Planned for many years before they got the go ahead from the BBC. Move was not prepared and got the go ahead and had a few weeks to get everything done. Even the director was frustrated with everything in the 2005 version or rushing and he had to make a movie when the 1995 version's bar was set so high or too high. I do not think anyone can do that adaptation better than the 1995 version. Just cannot.

Very interesting. It is also a bit misleading on one point. It was not just falling income from business interests that forced the Lee family into allowing the National Trust to take over. 1946 was very soon after the end of World War II. Death Duties during the First World War started the decline. Some families saw 2 or even 3 new heirs killed before any estate planning could be done to limit the damage. That continued through the Spanish Flu Epidemic and was made worse by the losses of heirs through the 6 years of World War II. It was this very thing that prompted Evelyn Waugh to write Brideshead Revisited. He could see the great Estates being broken up and the grand Country Houses being abandoned or demolished.

For paper you wash your hands thoroughly as though you were doing surgery. All that gets rid of the oils and potential dirt. Then you touch the book gently, feeling the texture with your very sensitive fingers, knowing this is irreplaceable. Gloves kill most of the finger’s sensitivity and can catch things like minute paint or gold leaf flakes, a nub in the paper, or any bit of roughness. Try picking up a sheet of paper with thin gloves on and you will find it takes more force than with your bare fingers. As for winding the clock, the key was probably treated to a polish with a soft cloth to clean anything like oils off it right after the winding. They just don’t show those preparations and after cleanup.

@@beckyburtis9977 thank you! I’ve been doing some research on my own in the University of Oregon Knight Library’s manuscript room as well as a couple in Germany. This is what I was advised. Still I went to an old friend who is now in charge of a Religious library where they have a large collection of pre Caxton hand written books. Here is what Dr. Dennis Hillers, PhD Rare books and Special Collections, University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana says: “ “Wash your hands. Gloves leave your hands slippery and prone to do more damage than what little clean hands will do. Actually, clean hands put a tiny bit of oil back into the leather... If you are dealing with a sulphite pulp paper book from 1860 on, try not to use it unless necessary... the yellowed the paper, the more brittle it is, and more likely to tear, rip, or even go to dust.” Now we can both try to deal with the “only use gloves” idea. 😄

I love stories such as these. As a Californian, I don't have the history these places do- though I can trace my mother's line back five generations in this state, through the Portuguese connections. I grew up reading and learned to respect the age of certain items, and I can't help but wonder at opening a book that old without gloves on, not to mention kissing one's fingers then touching the book's outer cover. The acids and oils in our skin, and the destructive power of saliva, can have a devastating effect on old items, esp books. I understand the emotional impact of FEELING through our skin, but personal desires need to take a back seat to the idea of maintaining an item for future generations to see and learn from.

I’ve seen this mentioned in several places, and my understanding is that current archival practice is to handle documents with clean hands. The reasoning is that clean, bare hands cause less damage than gloved hands, since the gloves reduce sensation and lead to clumsiness.

Think of the cost and very importantly the difficulty of retro fitting a sprinkler system in these very old buildings. Many of these old properties are given to the National Trust because they are ruinously expensive for the families (even those who still have money) to keep up (think about the cost of reroofing to specification). I look at the paintings on the walls and wish my favorite Art Restorer, Julian, could be called on to clean and do any needed conservation!

Really young women have a sex drive too, people. Our Lord and Savior's parents were most likely not married, otherwise why would Joseph been in Matthew's Gospel, considering "putting her away quietly"? If the Savior of the human race can be born of an unmarried relationship, then why are we still making such a fuss about it all, or making out (pun intended) that the female is always "womanized"? It is God that made us women, not our partners, male or female, thank you. I pray that over the next 100 years, the use of the word "illegitimate" goes away as our DNA genealogy becomes more sophisticated. Full disclosure two of my great-grandparents were apparently not married at the time my grandmother was conceived and born.

Jesus was not Joseph’s child, he was conceived through the Holy Spirit not through man. What Joseph meant by “put her away quietly” was that he wanted to get out of marrying her because he thought she had slept with another man, until an angel came to him in a dream and confirmed that Mary was in fact a virgin and was carrying a child given to her by God. Also it’s states quite clearly in the biblical laws that fornication is a sin and the prophet Paul even said that if a young couple begin to experience sexual urges then they should get married to keep from committing sin.
