“A little girl’s hair.” by G.K. Chesterton, 1910. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/42638ec92d5ea456e1eab142e1feaa3e8ac937444928ade6140b97ca1b48a57b.file

In my personal library, a large part of the books that I have read more than once come, by chance and in a trickle, from the personal library of John Robert Cartwright (1895–1979), Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, via the second hand book dealers of Tokyo. In a speech in 1974 (possibly) he talked about Chesterton from the perspective of a lawyer. The last few paragraphs were moving to me personally at least. His ex-libris is his heraldry (he was also a Honorary Fellow of the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada, and wounded twice in action on the Western Front during the Great War). https://hell.twtr.plus/media/32cf81bc7918dc640b97f3ec8208a7121f1f8b84d34e0ffcbed84d55109fecf9.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c91dd6d3781e8779803d8617a60d45418553ba558857f96821ff27cc0e0af685.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/d80948c929b029f2ac178510d40c1c8500a3e936de92d6a336b5cf5562b54ee0.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/4e1b068165e9ac875637e6b7745bc7f0358f74b7838390c99a6965bfe0637570.file

Flint rubble stone wall with lime mortar is a cheap and simple wall construction, although time-consuming. The critical points, like corners and door or window openings can be built in red brick or some other more easily shaped ashlar stone if necessary. Brick isn't cheap but in this kind of construction you don't need much of it. We have Ancient Roman era examples of this kind of construction still standing. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/afe955e20d9bb8fc8cfa621484d8722254f372d14015193f5dea04d3cc010a6c.file
