My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck By Lightning

The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Motives, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

The open gates in the sketch are almost identical to the famous Bear Gates at the front of the house, although they have been closed for 250 years. Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed at Traquair House in 1745 and after he left, the 5th Earl of Traquair locked the gates and vowed not to open them again until the Stuarts were restored to the Scottish throne.
