" It might also seem quaint if it wasn't all so quietly deadly."

This is the thing that's always grabbed me about this stuff and maybe why I liked Hemingway's style of writing about war.

actually, the Stone is located in Edinburgh Castle, along with the original Royal Regalia. Still, it was interesting to read about the 1950's heist and the follow-on conspiracies about how copies may have been made before the Stone was returned.

It felt neat to see the regalia at last. There's a certain awe that comes with looking at centuries old artifacts or archaeological finds in a museum, but it's something else to look at unique items that have so much history behind them.
