"The sculpture in the image is “Das Schicksal” (Fate), created in 1905 by Hugo Lederer. The sculpture portrays fate as a ruthless woman dragging two vulnerable bodies by their hair.

The work is currently located in Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg, Germany."

Mrs G: Miss Bennet needs to choose some dress fabric. M: I, er, find myself quite overwhelmed by... by the choice. T: Well, I shall be honest and say that my experience of picking dress fabric is limited to say the least but I shall try. M: Have you seen the names of these colours? You've got, er, Dust of Ruins. Er, Corbeau or, erm, Flamme de Ponche, anyone? T: Er, I think I shall take the drake's neck, with a splash of Nankeen! Anyone for Gamboge? M: Oh well, I mean, that's just yellow that one. T: Yes. M: Yes.
