We came across a fine
old pillar and scroll mantle clock. It was made in the manner
of Eli Terry. The face was painted with a most curious---perhaps
disturbing---illustration. An inscription read "And
she would sit and weep, for Kate is craz'd." This
was a most unusual clock. Something nagged about the illustration
and inscription, so we did a little research. |
