Lancaster would have been only around 55 when this was published, making him an unlikely model for the old gentleman.docnadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13176391968160060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8747226941560881392.post-36756654415802682352011-11-08T03:59:48.780-05:002011-11-08T03:59:48.780-05:00The elderly gentleman also looks (could it be just...The elderly gentleman also looks (could it be just accidental?) like the British cartoonist, Osbert Lancaster...Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8747226941560881392.post-46041126851367722962011-11-05T21:17:39.740-04:002011-11-05T21:17:39.740-04:00Yes, the gentleman certainly has a purposeful stri...Yes, the gentleman certainly has a purposeful stride, Leocadia, and the woman who is speaking knows exactly what that means.
