Roman bust. Looks like Neptune with a fabulous beard.

It was amusing to hear to ex-Home Secretary preach to the people of Derby on the subject of the Ninth Commandment [Thou shalt not bear false witness], the very one which he had broken so often with regard to me. I quite expected him to follow it up with an exposition on the Seventh Commandment [Thou shalt not commit adultery], but was disappointed to hear nothing.’
Two guinea pigs stare moodily at the camera. One is in focus, the other is not. It's giving Abba 'The Visitors,' late period pop.
Notes written in a very scrawling hand. Ten pages in all. Currently I can work out maybe 40% of the words. To be fair the example is the easiest bit to read.

Discovery of Mutilated Remains at Hounslow - Intense excitement was created on Friday Morning owing to a report that the remains of a child had been found near Mr Mitchell's garden in the Inwood-road...the body, which was supposed to be that of a child of six or seven years of age, was conveyed to the station, search being made in the meantime for the head. Various rumours were afloat as to the object and whereabouts of the murderer, which, however, was finally settled by Dr. Chapman who was sent for to see the body, which he, without hesitation, pronounced to be that of a dog.
