you or perhaps some friend in Sweden could send them of the Swedish Ardennes (or any other of the other north European branches of the Ardennes breed). Perhaps members of the Scandinavian Jane Austen society could send such photos--when they have recovered from laughing themselves half to death over the Mr Collins in the Swedish opera. (The Stratford Mr Collins--and therefore likely the Chicago Mr Collins--were also huge favourites of the audience. Was Collins also delightful in Australia?)
