That's the problem with past-life regressions. They get so twisted and distorted in the recollection. Everybody was Jesus and Mary Antoinette, but nobody was the scullery maid, right? Nobody got hung for stealing what turned out to be flyblown rotten meat anyway, or spent a dullard's life sweeping up the horsapples down Main street. All gallants, and impassioned maidens of High Degree, yada yada yada, It's understandable, though...who would want to recall the dismal boring truth when, with a flick of the imagination they can bring back dubbed-over glory and romance?

Ah, well...truth is the first victim of time travel, as the poet saith...
