Elizabeth Ruth Belville receives a timekeeping certificate from an official at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, circa 1903. Once Belville has the accuracy of her watch, which she calls 'Arnold', confirmed in this way, her task is to 'take the time' round businesses in the West End and City of London.

The misfortune of some brings happiness to others, and for these polar bears, the death of a whale in east Greenland heralded a royal feast.
