The #mineral #howlite was discovered near #Windsor #NS in 1868 by #HenryHow, a prof at #KingsCollege. He was alerted to it by #miners at a quarry where it was a strange impurity in the #gypsum. Its main use is in jewelry, partly because it's porous and can be easily dyed.

The #mineral #mordenite is named for #Morden, #NovaScotia, where #HenryHow discovered it in 1864. It's used to clean up chemical spills, in animal feed and for water treatment.

#Morden was originally called #FrenchCross after a memorial to #Acadians who died fleeing the #British expulsion of the #French in 1755. A #driftwood cross stood there from 1756 to ~1820. Replacement crosses were built in 1887, 1924 and the current stone one in 1964.

No me han matado físicamente, no. Es aún peor: me han robado el alma.

Tras haber respondido tantas preguntas, ahora me asalta la más importante: ¿por qué yo?

Me llamo…

Hace unos días, Robin [Gandy] y yo estuvimos en Hollymeade.

A pesar de todo no me he encontrado mal y me alegró ver cómo ha crecido la vieja enredadera. Aquella casa, que compré con tanta alegría, me ha transportado, sin embargo, a los hogares que dejé olvidados en la memoria.
Nada me aturde más como viajar a mi más tierna infancia. La oscuridad en el recuerdo es suplida por el frío más gélido, y por la soledad de la casa de los Ward, que nos acogieron a John y a mí, mientras nuestros padres seguían en Madrás.
