As you know, it is the "blog's" policy
to alert you at once when we run across someone wearing a
velvet suit, or a mention of someone wearing a
velvet suit. Get over to
Maud Newton's "blog" at once, then, and
read about Betrand Russell as "a solemn little boy in a blue
velvet suit with an equally solemn governess." Recall also the young Charles Schulz, similarly solemn, sitting
"on the grass of a St. Paul park, in velvet suit and Eton collar, earnestly posed under a lacquered Oriental parasol."
