  She led pensioner - architect . To him were simply delegation. Even orders embassy staffers were doing. And my grandfather showed architecture competently. And stylistically was original . Finer , hair miniature of architectural elements. Lovely washing . And , for example, a picture frame mat in the form of a cross or a window in the church ... These were real gifts, souvenirs and not on mercantile title.
