	There could well be a tenuous link - established via {{RS}} - between Sir Harry King and northern English comedian and club impresario Bernard Manning. Like Harry, Bernard was a plain speaker who made a career out of muck - in his case, filthy and ill-taste jokes. He ran nightclubs in the Manchester area, and also had a direct way with those who would seek to take advantage of his good nature. Like Harry, he loved his old Duchess - in this case, his mum - was generous to those who were loyal to him, and supported good causes and charities with large amounts of cash. He was also not a man to cross or get on the wrong side of. Pictures of Bernard in his glory days have a very Harry King feel to them.[[User:AgProv\|AgProv]] ([[User talk:AgProv\|talk]]) 10:55, 28 March 2014 (UTC)		There could well be a tenuous link - established via {{RS}} - between Sir Harry King and northern English comedian and club impresario Bernard Manning.

Old Dickens: Ruskin

Ruskin

New page

I don't see any mention of John Ruskin's classic fairy tale {{wp|The_King_of_the_Golden_River|''The King of the Golden River''}}, a story of the three brothers(1), again. That river could provide actual metallic gold to the upright, honest, compassionate youngest brother, [[Narrativium|again]].
