Englishman in Rome and a Peculiar Robbery
An English traveler in Rome, warned by danger, roams at night after dusk and loses his watch to a robber. He later boasted of recovering it, only to learn his sister saw the watch in his room all along, proving he had robbed himself. The tale is from Memoirs of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton. The Queen and Prince Albert ordered Irish Balbriggan stockings.
