GUENEVERE What do the simple folk do To help them escape when they're blue? The shepherd who is ailing, the milkmaid who is glum The cobbler who is wailing from nailing his thumb When they\'re beset and besieged The folk not noblessely obliged However do they manage to shed their weary lot? Oh, what do simple folk do we do not?
ARTHUR I have been informed by those who know them well They find relief in quite a clever way When they\'re sorely pressed, they whistle for a spell And whistling seems to brighten up their day And that\'s what simple folk do So they say

The property is the most expensive ever sold in the boroughreserved for luxe Manhattan skyscrapers has broken the record for the most expensive home ever sold in Brooklyn, the Daily News has learned.
The four-story, six-bedroom carriage house, at 177 Pacific St., sold for $15.5 million, according to our spies, crushing the previous record Brooklyn sale by a whopping $3 million.
That mark was set by in 2012, when Truman Capote's former digs at 70 Willow St. in Brooklyn Heights sold for $12.5 million.
As crazy as Brooklyn prices are these days, $15.5 million still buys you a lot: A massive 10,000-square-foot, 27-foot-wide property with amenities such as a 20-seat movie theater, a gym, a children’s play room, a wine cellar, a 2,600-square-foot roof garden, an elevator and four parking spots. It even has radiant heating, herringbone floors and four working fireplaces.
“This sale is definitely a testament to the strength of the luxury market in Brooklyn,” said listing broker Alex Maroni of Douglas Elliman after The News called him for comment on the sale. He declined to identity the buyer or seller.
The property is the latest luxe residence in the white hot brownstone Brooklyn market, in which the number of $3 million-plus townhouse sales jumped by 579% over the past five years, according to Ideal Properties, a broker.
The frenzy has gotten so great that the owner of a different huge brownstone in nearby Brooklyn Heights listed the property for an earth-shattering $40 million, a record high in the borough
