		Gilbert alleged, inter alia, that the foreclosure and sale of BFG's partnership interest was a sham, intended to divest him of his indirect interest in debtor.1 In his lawsuit, Gilbert sought damages in excess of $2,000,000, as well as equitable relief that included the reinstatement of BFG's partnership interest in debtor.
		Gilbert alleges, however, that the $2,375,000 cash call was not actually needed as part of the debt restructuring, but instead was a pretense designed by the California partners to gain leverage in a dispute between the general partners concerning alleged cost overruns on the renovations at the hotel property.
		Debtor argued, inter alia, that Gilbert's new allegations and demands (i.e., the claims for conversion, increased monetary damages, and punitive damages) and BFG's entire lawsuit were pre-petition "claims" within the meaning of the S 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, and were, therefore, discharged upon confirmation of debtor's reorganization plan.

	The Princess by Alfred Lord Tennyson
		Gilbert based his book for Princess Ida on one of his earlier plays, The Princess.
		The bulk of the proof reading was bravely undertaken by Harriet Meyer who also provided invaluable insight and comment on the developing on-line version of this little corner of Tennyson's output which, were it not for Gilbert, might have remained totally lost to the late 20th century inhabitants of cyberspace.
		In The Princess, whose blank verse form Gilbert retained, Tennyson took the opportunity to make a social comment but, nonetheless, treated the subject of women's education in a serio-comic fashion which some find trying but which is possibly what attracted Gilbert to the piece.
