MARTHA!.................................Slowly I turn...................
That is written similar to the 1721 copy of the Magna Carta we have...very difficult to read
Ha ha ha… We used to have a dog many years ago in my family when I was a kid, and my mom taught the dog to react in a certain way to that phrase.
With her back to the dog, washing dishes or something, she would say in a low voice “Slowly I turn…“ And the dog would become hyper alert, get down on its front legs on the ground in a eager “here we go “pose with his butt in the air, and as my mom turned around, the dog would begin to growl, getting louder and louder until she and the dog, facing each other, would simultaneously rush at each other…
It was fun. Like most moms, she did the bulk of the dog duties and seemed to resent it sometimes, but that was fun to see!
