    When shall we three meet again
    In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
    When the hurlyburly's done,
    When the battle's lost and won."

      Er, aren't there FOUR lady diocesans pictured?

      Where's + Libby Derby, thus making it FIVE?

      It came as a bit of a shock to see that the Bishop of Newcastle has stopped dying her hair.

      However, at yesterday's State Opening of Parliament the entire show was stolen by "The First Girlfriend" (but possibly not the last!) sporting her headband. For all the world she looked dressed for a funeral (my Great Aunt Violet used to wear that kind of "hat" to church way back in the 1950s) - highly appropriate headgear for what the Attorney General has described as the "Dead Parliament"

      i thought of changing it to "we four", and then dismissed it as just pedantry.

    Saw you the weird sisters?
    LENNOX
    No, my lord.
    MACBETH
    Came they not by you?
    LENNOX
    No, indeed, my lord.

      Time, thou anticipat’st my dread exploits.
      The flighty purpose never is o'ertook
      Unless the deed go with it. From this moment
      The very firstlings of my heart shall be
      The firstlings of my hand.
