Paws pounding the dirt. </p><p>A small human (5?) wearing a serious expression is crouched next to a large spiderweb. She's armed with a Special Scientific Investigation Stick but she's not quite sure what to do with it. So she pokes her younger brother instead. Yes. This type of science is far more satisfying.</p><p>A woman (20s?) in a blue felt hat is walking through a flea market with a spring in her step.

Her wardrobe's gonna live it large today! </p><p>A tiny human (1?) has lost her nose! (Oh no!) Dad's holding it between two of his fingers. She stares wide eyed at him, shocked at this anatomical feat, only to chortle with delight when he puts it back, holding up his splayed hand up as evidence.</p><p>A woman (80s?) is sitting on a bench overlooking a park and mountains just on sunset. She's got a sketchpad in her lap, a wooden box of pastels at her side and is hard at work capturing the colours. Her gruntling and snortling bulldog rubbing his face on the grass nearby.</p><p>Any typos spotted in this post are a breed of Exclamation Point Wagging Qwerties.

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 30 March 1925:<br> LOCAL AND GENERAL<br>…<br> Another instance of the recovery by railway officials of an article lost from the train by a lady passenger has been brought to notice, and with it a further example of the value of forethought is provided. During a trip by train to Auckland recently a Wellington lady was in the act of washing her hands when a valuable ring slipped from her finger and passed into the waste pipe of the basin before it could be recovered. The train was then some distance from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Taihape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Taihape</span></a>, and, on arrival at that station, the loss of the ring was made known to the station officials there. An examination of the pipe failed to reveal the missing article, which had evidently fallen right through to the railway line. The lady passenger informed the officials that she had taken a note of the time when the article was lost, and with this information as a guide, that portion of the line over which the train had passed at the time stated was subsequently searched. The result was that the lady had her ring returned the other day.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19250330.2.29" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19250330.2.29</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Railways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Railways</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LostAndFound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LostAndFound</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MainTrunkLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MainTrunkLine</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>
