in honor of former Canadian Prime Minster Cretien, (then
on his way to Buckingham Palace to receive an order
bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth), Henrietta and
I made fast for the attics. Virtually every space was
explored, from the textiles storage room to Housemaid���s
Heights. It was nowhere to be found. Were the initials
Winston���s? Or, was the chair used in a water closet? I
have always suspected the former. I haven���t given up yet.
There are still carriage houses, barns, sheds, pavilions
and secondary houses to search. Knowing Blenheim
and finding Winston Churchill, both the historical figure
and his initials, take a lifetime.
