Helen thanks for the update... my own understanding of Russian is so minimal that unless darling Olga is very parient I cannot keep up with her ...
Shto, shto, preshtije... Ya plocka gavradyu parysskii! Ya Nepanimayu!
{what... what, forgive me...I don't speak very much russian! I don't understand!}
Olya I promise to practice!
Regarding the science of beauty and the symetry issue [a face with very balanced features] -- in the extream such appearances can look rather disturbing (a computer generated "mock up" of a
perfectly balanced face once struck me as fearful!) Nevertheless I don't think that anyone here is suggesting that the other daughters were not attractive ...Maybe thats not really the point -- I thought that we were moving onto a new theory, one if of "psychic" emotional or inner beauty.
