THE PICTURES:

Since the photograph below was taken in May 1996 the pencil drawing

of Hermione, Sir George and Lady Bullough's only child has been not only removed from this location, but removed from the frame.

Fortunately both empty frame and drawing were found

and photographed by the author.

WHY WERE THEY MOVED AND SEPARATED?

DID AND DOES ANYONE REALLY CARE?
