Heroes and heroines of the Warner cycle demand your love by being either nincompoops or rascals...
...canvas, Sir Edward Knatchbull's first and second wives died and he married a third, sired a tenth child. Undaunted, Artist Copley got Ladies Knatchbull I and II in the picture as angels in the sky, but later Sir Edward had them painted out. Out of fashion and in debt, Artist Copley died in 1815, twelve years before his son, John Singleton Jr., became Lord Chancellor of England...
