I have been here for 24 hours and have sold nothing.
Do you expect me to stay around here forever without compensation?
I don't know what the rest of you are paid, but this is an insult to my dignity.

But Whistler, I don't get my allowance until Monday! :bawling:
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

I'm sorry, I can't safely order from places that advertise themselves as gluten free because they usually use nut flours as a substitute and I'm allergic.

No, we use a very finely-ground sawdust. It's made from a tree in the Amazonian jungle that's home to several endangered species.

Well, if the endangered species are involved, then sure.

Whistler, age cannot wither nor custom stale your infinite variety.

Yes, I get that a lot.

The watch fob was made in 1897 to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria. Her profile is at the center, with the names of all her colonies encircling her.

When I have the proper time, I plan to use it to give the full gallery my proper attention.

That is particularly gorgeous to me, Whistler. I want to head off down that path.

That one is in my Victorian parlor, which I call the Peacock Room after the famous room of the same name by Whistler.

Alas, I can't seem to access anything called the Peacock Room from the top of your site. Because I would so be there.
