A FASHIONABLE MOLE

I know what my new house will need...a touch of class. Maybe I'll put up some portraits of old English nobility. There must be prints you can buy like that.


Yeah, the Baroque look. 


Gee, all the wigs in those pictures have big clefts in the middle.

Maybe I'll need a landscape to offset them.


Portraits are useful because they hint at something I'm much too refined to assert openly...


...namely that I am...Ahem!...descended from English nobility.  Of course, there are no nobles in my family, and I'm Irish rather than English,  but I don't see why I should suffer because of that.


I'll need to find suitable women's portraits to hint at my wife's pedigree...

....something with lots of hair.


Something very ancien regime.


Something with a fashionable mole.
