I visited Front Royal with my Aunt and Grandma, being as that is where they are from. We went to the local museum and to Belle Boyds cottage.
As we went through the tour of Belles cottage our guide told how Belle was a beautiful woman and used her looks to help her spy. Having a mental image of a really beautiful woman, when we got to a picture or Belle I was surprised. Of course I had to say outloud, "She looks kinda horsey to me!"
A short while later, I had a wooden top in my hand from the gift shop, and was holding it tightly. While we stood in the hallway listening to the guide some more, the top shot out of my hand and straight across the room, without my arm ever moving.
Calmly,the guide said, "Yes our Belle keeps it interesting around here."
My advice is, if you visit Belle Boyds cottage......... Don't insult her!!
