This tells me that the information given lacks exactness...In this case :) :) :) i have no other choice than wait for the English gentleman to get out his crayons and be so kind as to picture ATG with a straw hat for a Brazilian lady.;)

I shall see what I can do...

Although my first attempt ended up looking more like someone in Chairman Mao's People's Army, rather than a Macedonian with heatstroke!

Ah, try http://1stmuse.com/frames/efest.jpg. Never get your hand shut in a sash window -
with no feeling in your fingers, letters get
missed out when typing. So no wine this time,
merely silly disability (& not checking mail
before posting :) )...apologies.... Hopefully, this will save Marcus's
crayons...

Would that be the one that flew into the march and was rescued-- and worn by a commoner-- thereby predicting
alexander's loss of the crown?
