In the novel, the hero finds a diamond hidden in the well. THe diamond had been hidden there by one 'Blackbeard' Mahone, who first took it from Charles I to aid his escape, then betrayed him. Not a bad read.Dux Homunculorumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00536604035307855671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583763956832861153.post-30805434397526173042011-07-17T13:46:41.420+01:002011-07-17T13:46:41.420+01:00I ma looking at going over that way soon,I will ke...I ma looking at going over that way soon,I will keep an eye out for it.<br /><br />Cheers Rich.west1871https://www.blogger.com/profile/14253166360184930588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583763956832861153.post-5427354355843972312011-07-16T17:49:15.649+01:002011-07-16T17:49:15.649+01:00Great photos, very interesting!Great photos, very interesting!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.com
