This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I just watched a documentary about the Royal Menagerie within the
Tower of London.  Not only was there a Lion Tower (where the lions and
tigers were, demolished in the 19th C), but Henry (III?) kept his white
bear from the King of Norway at the ToL (it used to swim in the Thames).
There is a Bear Tower at Warwick Castle.  Of course, in the same complex,
are the various cells and torture chambers for the human prisoners.  Are
there other historical models (perhaps with a nunnery within the walls)?
