The Dolomites sing “Lizzie Borden.”

Plot thickens

The story gets better on the Lizzie signed book mentioned below and in this sale on eBay. Someone wrote the seller and they posted the reply in the auction ad.

Q: can you provide me a signed letter from you stating that this is from her estate please so I can bid on the book? Thanks, Ralf
A: Yes Ralf- Our clients is willing to provide the following in writing: To whom it may concern: I recently purchased 6 books that had belonged to Lizzie Borden from a local woman who is personally known to me. She is the daughter of a man who was Ms. Borden’s chauffeur in her later years. As the books were given to the chauffeur by Ms. Borden during her lifetime, they are not technically part of her estate. My acquaintance knew Ms. Borden as a child. The inscribed book is self-explanatory as to provenance, and the ones initialed ‘L.A.B.’ were done in Ms. Borden’s hand, according to my acquaintance. The books with the “Maplecroft” sticker on the endpaper also speak for themselves, as Maplecroft is known to be Ms. Borden’s estate as a matter of public record. We will provide a signed letter as requested to the winner

What’s that I see in the window?

Hmm. In the reflection of Maplecroft in the window of Mr. Dube’s limo on sale on eBay I see something odd. Do you see it? Are those blue flowerboxes? Goodness me.
