PENMAN'S SHIP

“ A man’s penmanship is an unfailing index of his character, moral and mental, and a criterion by which to judge his peculiarities of taste and sentiments

--Lord Philip Stanhope

Me: sloppily elegant. Full of flourish, yet controlled. Really good capital L's, T's, F's, and M's. My cursive has always been important to me because my boarding-school-educated grandmother was very particular about those kinds of things (her thank-you notes are exquisite). Now I don't know if my own grandchildren will be taught it. I might have to make them.
