This lady, who is now somewhat advanced in years, but has still the remains of beauty, is living in France upon her estate; the produce of the many charms which she once possessed, and which she turned to such advantage, as to make her society even up to this day courted by those who look upon wealth as the great source of distinction, and who are willing to disbelieve any stories that they may accidentally hear of her previous history. — from Reminiscences of Captain Gronow by R. H. (Rees Howell) Gronow

it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
