Randall Davidson
The phrase "stage magician" came to mind when I saw this picture of Randall Davidson featured on Wikipedia today.
"Randall Thomas Davidson, 1st Baron Davidson of Lambeth, GCVO, PC (7 April 1848 – 25 May 1930) was an Anglican priest who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1903 to 1928. He was the longest-serving holder of the office since the Reformation, and also the first to retire from it."
So there it is: a Gnomon Chronicles passing fancy: the good Archibishop did stage magic on the side, or possibly a professional stage magician did a little Archbishopping on the side.

Ely house fire
Another house fire here in Ely, not a month after the last one.
Once again in the afternoon, while I am napping until sirens shake me into worried wakefulness: is my property on fire?
Someone else's property on fire, one block South, one block East. No injuries.
Hell of a thing. Town of 3,400 people. Two house fires in the month of June. Grim.
