text_original: That is very fortunate, this writer feels; it would be a terrible thing for example, if some good looking scamp from our present Twenty first Century were to dive into the past and steal Cleopatra from Antony, or start an affair with Josephine and send Napoleon scurrying back from the front and let the Napoleonic wars go to pot. We'd have to have all our histories rewritten!
