J. Farrell.) http://www.webofstories.com/play/18143 More on Molly Keane here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molly_Keane and here: http://danitorres.typepad.com/workinprogress/molly-keanemj-farrell/ Bob Copper 1914 - 2004, so the dates fit... but perhaps it is just as Sally Killen is reported as saying on Mainly Norfolk - not just a praise of one woman, but glorifying the grace and beauty of all womankind.... and maybe horses as well...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ref the good ship 'Charming Molly,' one so-named was wrecked off Bryher in 1780 with a cargo of Portland Stone bound for Dublin in Ireland, but it is not the only web reference to a ship of that name. I found one bound for Nova Scotia in 1750 and one to Pennsylvania 1774, unless they are one and the same, though no link is drawn.
