SD and BT Redux

I don't want my blog to become the chronicler of all freaks and geeks, but someone recently told me of another unusual living arrangement that I just had to post.

So Dutch piano teacher Suzanne Leenhoff was hired by French painter Edouard Manet's father to teach piano to Edouard and his brother Rene. She was the same age of our beloved Eddie. Yet she continued a long affair with Papa Manet and married Edouard after Papa died. She had a child out of wedlock, named Leon Leenhoff, but it was never certain whether Papa or Eddie was the father of the child. Leon was later renamed Leon Edouard-Leenhoff.

Tres Magnifique!
