Are you saying there is something wrong with having six fingers on one hand???

Oh my....that is a little detail not well known. In those days 32 was just about a spinster, and it was only one hand with six fingers?
Yes, I heard it was in France where she learned to hone her wiles. She learned well, so it would appear. Although, in the bitter end, it was not a lot of help to her.
I must say British women are an interesting lot. I recently read about Jane Digby...
Definitely! The Tudors are my favourite history topic and I love reading books about it - I also never realised just how old Anne Boleyn was when she married Henry - 32!! She is always portrayed in films as young, beautiful and innocent, but she was far from it (and not particularly beautiful either) and had six fingers on one hand However, she had a lot of flirty charm that she learned during her time the French court

Ouh! Now I don´t know much about Jane Digby, but a quick wiki-scan tells me that she could make interesting reading!

I think you would find her facinating subject. I might suggest the Lesley Blanch version in The Wilder Shores of Love. I happened on it by seeing the of obituary of Lesley Blanch, who was another British woman who had an interesting life  . She was 103 at the time of her death in 2007. On reading about her I had to read her books. So far I´ve read The Wilder Shores of Love and Sabers of Paradise.
In the WSL she also writes about Isabell Burton, giving a new insite into the life and work of Sir Richard Burton. (they both spent time with Ms. Digby)...

My pleasure, My hat is off to British women. They have been some of the real movers and shakers in the world. Here´s a short list, excluding the Queens...
Jane Digby
Isabel Burton
Gertrude Bell.....I am amazed she is so little known and appreciated, a truly amazing woman. Did you know her guide was an Anatolian Armenian?
Freya Stark.............the trips she took???
..........all these women have their less admirable traits, but one can not ignore, or not respect their amazing lives, and the influence they had on world events. Freya had some interesting comments about Turkish men....

Ha ha ha ha.....well those were some interesting sites. BTW I knew a person with 3 nipples and I saw the extra one. It is not that unusual, so it seems. The extra nipple was more like what one would see on a cat´s belly. Unless you were told it existed, there would be no indication it existed. In fact, the person with it had to point it out. If you didn´t know, you may just think it was a zit.
What does amaze me is the fact that Ann was able to get so prized a catch as a king with the extra digit. I thought royalty was concerned with breeding issues, and in general looked for physically "perfect" specimens......
