16 . Last verse of The First Kiss of Love - Lord Byron 1806
When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past—
For years fleet away with the wings of the dove—
The dearest remembrance will still be the last,
Our sweetest memorial, the first kiss of love. Back to the story
17 . For the purpose of this story, I have coloured artistic pencils in use earlier than history allows. Graphite pencils, similar to the ones that are widely used today, date back to the 17th century, while colored pencils did not appear until the early 19th century. Early colored pencils were limited to a range of fifteen to twenty colors and were used mainly for utilitarian purposes. It wasn't until the early 20th century that colored pencils intended for artistic works were introduced. http://www.ehow.com/about_5371106_were-colored-pencils-first-made.html#ixzz34L8OHQHA Back to the story

19 . The Four Horse Club - Originally one of the clubs frequented by the notorious Earl of Barrymore, the Four-Horse club had been a wild group of young men who enjoyed bribing coachmen to give them the reins to their vehicles and then driving them at break-neck speeds along the very poor British roads. Also called the Four-in-Hand Club, the Whip Club or the Barouche Club.http://www.janeausten.co.uk/well-hand-four-horse-club/ Back to the story
