A family heirloom, or half a sixpence, perhaps...<BR/><BR/>You're right - if she was so special, then there should have been something about her that he could have checked out, or "tried out" in some way.Brian o vretanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982178574498189251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155163465692365863.post-20797813079179052292008-09-23T23:53:00.000+01:002008-09-23T23:53:00.000+01:00There's a perfectly logical explanation...

In "La Cenerentola" the slipper is a double bracelet.<BR/><BR/>And in an even more cynical view, the slipper that the Prince "tries on" every maiden in the land represents sex... he is enjoying the rights of sexual possession over the female subjects.<BR/><BR/>Too much information?
