“I owe you one so much, you don’t know how much I appreciate it.” Asli smiled at the blond, relief spreading across her features. The man had been able to help her get some things in her office, still a work in progress but one that should hopefully be taken care of soon. Aslihan was still meant to take things easy, but she was trying to be out more. Especially at the university. Being back on campus made her so happy, the brunette was trying to walk slowly. Just take everything in better. “God, I’ve missed this place so much. I don’t think I’m ready to leave yet.”

21st July: Mrs. Weston has her lying-in

Read the post and comment on WordPress

Read: Vol. 3, ch. 17 [53]; pp. 303–305 (“Mrs. Weston’s friends” to “made Harriet unhappy”).

Context

Mrs. Weston gives birth to a little girl. Emma and Mr. Knightley discuss their history.

This occurs after 15th July and before Harriet has been at Brunswick Square for a fortnight.

Readings and Interpretations

It’s a Girl!

This chapter opens with the conclusion of the ‘secret’ pregnancy alluded to some chapters back. Lisa Hopkins writes: “From very shortly after the period of her marriage Mrs Weston’s pregnancy must be a major factor in the lives of those around her, and yet it is barely referred to. The imminence of the birth is likely to have been completely forgotten by the time that Chapter 53 reintroduces the topic with its abrupt opening information: ‘Mrs Weston’s friends were all made happy by her safety […]’ (p. 62)”. The birth itself comes after several statements of concern regarding Mrs. Weston’s health; Janine Barchas points out that “[w]ith Emma’s mother and the former Mrs. Weston both long deceased from unspecified causes and a high contemporary mortality rate in childbirth, the successful ‘confinement’ of the new Mrs. Weston is an anxiously awaited event” (p. 330).

Given its inception soon after the beginning of the novel, and its conclusion at its denouement, “the progress of [Mrs. Weston’s] pregnancy [is] one of the basic timelines developed by the novel” (Johnson, p. 7). Baublyté Kaufmann writes:

this birth symbolically accomplishes the cycle that started in September with Miss Taylor’s wedding and, thus, the change in Emma’s life. The baby must have been conceived right after the wedding, developed during the gestation period of Winter and Spring to be born in July. This mirrors the natural and the agricultural cycle of seeds sown in Autumn and giving fruit in Summer. At the same time, it parallels Emma’s eye-opening trajectory of development. From new unsuccessful projects with Harriet and Mr. Elton and later with Frank Churchill, she moves towards understanding of her real feelings for Mr. Knightley. Their engagement is announced to their family and friends right after the birth of the baby. (p. 69)

As you may recall from the last section, Cisely Havely compares the characters’ (morally condemned) habit of keeping secrets with that same habit on the part of the narrator. She cites the example of this birth, noting that the ‘secret’ pregnancy comes to term as some of the narrative’s other secrets are being revealed:

Once Emma’s marriage has been settled, the novel’s last remaining concern is secrecy — which is simultaneously part of the plot and part of the narrative method. Interestingly, all the revelations coincide with the birth of Mrs. Weston’s baby — whose imminence has been one of the narrative’s best kept secrets. A modem reader may be inclined to think that Jane Austen makes too much of a moral fuss about the secret engagement, which she allows Emma to condemn in the strongest terms: ‘hypocrisy and deceit, — espionage and treachery’ [vol. 3, ch. ]. What we need to ask is whether, if secrecy is indeed so reprehensible, the very fabric of the novel is not so contaminated? If it’s so very wrong for Frank to keep a secret, how can it be right for the novelist not to be entirely frank with us? (pp. 232–3)

Fancying Errors

This section contains what is perhaps Emma’s and Mr. Knightley’s most important post-engagement conversation, in which, like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy reviewing their past encounters, each seems to be arguing the side of the other. Emma insists that Knightley’s ‘scolding’ did her good, and Knightley holds that the faults he saw in Emma were the result of his “fancy[]” (p. 304). James Bennett notes the importance of this choice of word:

[T]he important revelation of Knightley here is the irrational foundation of his love for Emma […]. He loves her not merely in spite of her unlovable behavior, warts and all, but, one is almost compelled to declare, because it was against his principles and better judgment. It seems no accident that in expressing this crucial revelation of his own doating willfulness Austen has Knightley use the word “fancying,” fancy being the chief origin of Emma’s frequent errors. In this instance Knightley is, like Emma, “an imaginist,” as she calls herself, but the result, contrary to Emma’s imagining, is fortunate. (p. 249)

Charles Knight writes that this “conversation about Emma’s past is remarkable. Although she is reticent about Harriet, Emma has gained an intimacy with Knightley that allows both of them to mingle an almost absolute clarity with comic exaggeration” (p. 188). Knight compares this scene to a similar conversation between Anne Eliot and Captain Wentworth at the end of Persuasion, noting the “pattern of revelation at work” whereby “the lovers look back […] on events that took place before the novel’s action began” and thereby “readjust the novel itself” (p. 189):

Emma’s objectivity is a necessary ingredient of this new look at her past, and she comes to view it much as the reader has done. […] But the notion that Emma had, as she puts it, “the assistance of your endeavors to counteract the indulgence of other people” is denied by Knightley. […] Knightley’s statements must be taken at face value. His honesty and forthrightness have been so dramatized in the novel as to make it impossible to view his remarks as an attempt to excuse Emma’s past behavior. Further, their truth is supported by the evidence of the novel itself: Emma does not stop matchmaking despite Knightley’s disapproval […]. Knightley, then, is right. His honesty and candor have been of no great use to Emma, but her desire to prove him wrong has in many cases encouraged her to act defiantly. Her development towards an engagement to Knightley comes as each of Knightley’s anticipations is proven to be true. Knightley’s insights do not persuade Emma of the truth of the situations in which she is involved; rather, she discovers the truth of Knightley’s insights from the working out of the situations. The implications of Knightley’s comments on the past are thus complex. Even the authority of candor and honesty must be modified by humanity and perception. Yet Knightley’s interference has had the good effect of making him love Emma. (p. 190)

Joseph Litvak similarly sees something in Knightley’s conversation here worth taking seriously:

While it is possible to dismiss [Knightley’s] remarks as Emma’s reward for submitting, the last sentence in particular has a concessive force that puts it beyond the less-than-sincere rhetoric of the gracious winner. Knightley, after all, is telling Emma not just that he loves her, "faults and all,” but that he himself has “fancied” or invented “many” of those “errors.” If the narrative has traditionally been conceived as a linear development whereby Emma, changing under Knightley’s influence, moves gradually toward a welcoming recognition of that influence, now the Pygmalion myth gets a new twist: Knightley is interested less in perfecting the “object of [his] tenderest affection” than in “fancying”—at once imagining and liking—her charming imperfection.

[...] Instead of resolving itself into a linear progression, then, the narrative turns out to be going in circles. Those who bemoan the absence of a “happy ending”—of more persuasive proof that Emma has been converted—are impatient with precisely this circularity. For the failure of the linear model implies a failure of the unilateral ethical scheme in which a morally superior Knightley transforms a morally inferior Emma. […] Knightley’s words suggest how complicated the picture has become: “fancying so many errors,” he is no more a mere critic than Emma is a mere fiction maker. His interpretations are flights of fancy, which she must read to produce her little novels of error, to which he in turn takes a fancy, producing additional fanciful interpretations. Austen is at her most subversive, then, not in intimating the antisocial recesses of her heroine’s interiority but in locating Emma in this potentially endless circuit of fiction, interpretation, and desire, with its dynamic and reciprocal relations between men and women. (p. 771)

For Knight, the “complexities” brought up in this conversation “are not resolved on the level of conversational statements, but their resolution is indicated by the discussion that follows concerning the name Emma is to use in addressing her husband-to-be”:

Knightley finds “Mr. Knightley” too formal, but Emma rejects “George.” Not only is it unaccustomed, but it carries with it the memory of a childhood rejection of Knightley’s authority. Both Emma and Knightley are subjectively right. Emma has grown to understand and accept the honesty and authority symbolized to her by “Mr. Knightley”; in fact, the name has become as natural to her as a first name. Knightley admits the relative familiarity of the more formal title, but his wishes reflect his recognition that his relationship to Emma has gone beyond that of her childhood. He has not changed except by recognizing his love for Emma, but she has grown from a not always respectful child to a loving adult. (p. 191)

N takes M. A.

Nicholas Preus, like Havely, reads Emma’s denouement in terms of the secrets and conundrums that have formed the rest of the novel: “This secret, the hidden discourse that Emma desires Mr. Knightley, appears in the curious last conundrum. Emma, blushing, tells Mr. Knightley that she will call him by his first name once only, ‘I do not say when, but perhaps you may guess where;—in the building in which N. takes M. for better, for worse’ [p. 304]” (p. 204).

Preus notes that this, of course, “is a reference to the marriage ceremony and the church” (the marriage service in the Book of Common Prayer having “N.” and “M.” as placeholders for the names which the minister ought to speak, “N.” perhaps standing for the Latin “nomen” and “M.” to avoid confusion with “N.”); to boot, the “‘N’ and ‘M’ are representative of ‘Knightley’ and ‘Emma’ with first letters elided” (p. 203). He also sees a connection between Emma’s “conundrum” and the one which Mr. Weston advanced at Box Hill: “the ‘M’ echoes Mr. Weston’s ‘M’ and its equation with ‘perfection’; Emma is now, in a psychological sense, whole or perfect” (ibid.). Similarly, Margie Burns writes: “Simultaneously daring and self-deprecating, [Emma’s] silly joke about the first letters of their names recalls Mr. Weston’s joke, continuing the restitution she has already begun for insulting the defenseless Miss Bates. Emma’s witticism here is so brilliant that it suggests, in hindsight, that Austen may have plotted Emma’s uncharacteristic Box Hill gaucherie partly to set it up” (p. 178).

For Preus, though, there is another, still more buried meaning of this piece of wit: “But then there is the “N” which seems unavoidably to suggest the word “nightly.” The question can be reformulated: what building is it in which Knightley (nightly) takes Emma? Why, Hartfield of course, which, as Emma explains in the beginning to Harriet in lovely images of sexuality, ‘gives love exactly the right direction, and sends it into the very channel where it ought to flow’” (p. 203).

Some critics reflect on what this moment tells us about Emma’s attitude towards names. Frances Ferguson writes that “Austen’s Emma marks engagement and marriage as a retirement of the first name” (p. 178). Emma’s insistence upon “Mr. Knightley” finds “a ready companion piece in Frank’s way of talking about Jane. In the letter in which he tells Emma ‘the whole story’ of his engagement to Jane, he objects to Mrs. Elton’s officiousness and ‘imagined superiority’ toward Jane because it has been part and parcel of the ‘needless repetition’ of Jane’s name. ‘You will observe,’ he writes, ‘that I have not yet indulged myself in calling her by that name, even to you’ [vol. 3, ch. 14 [50]; p. 290]” (p. 179). This “retirement” of the given name is Austen’s solution to the problem which Emma’s and Mr. Knightley’s desirability to multiple potential partners has created:

[...] Austen puts considerable pressure on the marriage plot, since it would seem more likely for the marriage game to issue in everyone’s marrying everyone else than in marriage between two persons. […] [T]he most desirable partners would look the most desirable not just to one person but to all. […] In the face of this problem, the marriages of the novel insist on taking names that have been in the public sphere—for instance, the Emma so widely spoken of as to appear in the title of the novel—and retiring them, as if marriage depicted an intimacy so intense as to create the effect of distance by dispensing with the forms of address that might be used in public, by just anyone. (pp. 179–80)

Christina Denny, like Knight, speculates on the implications Emma’s speech patterns have for the state and the progress of her and Mr. Knightley’s relationship:

Like Marianne’s readily intimate “‘Willoughby,’” newcomer Mrs. Elton’s “‘Knightley’” suggests unflatteringly weak social etiquette; at the same time, it contrasts evocatively with Emma’s own verbal politesse. Is her formal “‘Mr. Knightley’” simply an expression of Emma’s high value for etiquette? A sign that she is still maturing into adult relationships, despite being handsome, clever, and rich? Her unconscious need to know that they are “‘not really so much brother and sister’” (358)? […] Each of these meanings lends a life and spirit to Emma’s “‘Mr. Knightley’” that she is reluctant to let go of even when they later become engaged. Mr. Knightley himself notices this as they linguistically navigate their move from child/mentor to adult lovers. (p. 198)

Denny predicts that Emma may eventually back down from her determination: “The blush and the hedge to her “‘Impossible!’” could signal Emma’s receptivity to reforming her own formal-yet-familiar “‘Mr. Knightley’” and finding a fitting term of endearment in the future” (ibid.).

Emma’s reference to the interchangeability of names in the marriage service itself—the use of “N.” and “M.” as placeholders which could be replaced with any name and thus signify any person—together with their superficial or linguistic compatibility with “Knightley” and “Emma,” respectively, continues what I have identified as the novel’s concern with the interchangeability or non-interchangeability of a name with the person it refers to; it also puts me in mind of Nicholas Royle’s discussion of the indeterminacy of addressee in Emma (see “What’s in a Name?”).

Discussion

Is Knightley correct about the adverse effects of his “interference”? Does he himself believe what he is saying?

In what other ways does Emma, or Austen’s other novels, reflect on the use of names?

Is Emma’s determination to matchmake for Anna Weston a joke, a sign of disheartening recidivism, or something in between? Why is this detail included?

You're No Good - Ch. 2

C.J. Bennett is an overly ambitious student who dreams of shadowing her favorite author, Eli Jennings. The only thing standing in her way: Grayson Dolan.

warnings: this is a rough draft of a series i never finished. i'm posting the finished chapters before leaving this account. 🤍

part 1

If American Lit 1102 was C.J.’s personal hell, her job could at least be considered her own reprieve.

Sunnyside Vintage is an old shop off of Sunset, having been open for the last 30 years. It wasn’t the nicest of thrift stores — the clothes always have a weird mothball smell and everything is old - and not in the trendy way. C.J. loves it. The windows are huge, letting California sunlight wash the stucco walls gold, and the mannequins are always dressed straight out of the 70’s. The pay isn’t always great, but C.J. is allowed to take whatever she wants more than makes up for it in her eyes.

“I just don’t understand. I mean, Stevens has praised me this entire semester. She even told me personally he’s never had a student write as well as me nor pick up on the work as fast as I have. Wouldn’t that be qualities you’d want in an intern, Bea? Even Grayson Dolan would’ve been a better pick.” C.J. turns to her boss, angrily folding flared jeans.

Another reason C.J. loves Sunnyside — her boss, Beatrice “Bea” Walker. Once a glitzy soap star of the ’50’s, she retired with her husband and opened Sunnyside in the late 80’s. Despite being in her late-70s, she still holds on to the same glamour and charm that made her a household name a century prior.

“Maybe there was another reason. It could be something other then your application.” She croaks, lifting a pumpkin to place next to a costumed mannequin. As halloween rapidly approaches, the store was starting to transform to fit the fall season — hoping to draw in customers to purchase unique costumes for the holiday.

Before she can move to help Bea, the doors chime, signaling an entrance. Walking through with seemingly-glowing skin and a symphonic smile was Alexi, C.J.’s best friend and roommate. It’s hard to miss Alexi whenever she walks into a room — from her bleached-blue hair to eclectic style, she’s never been afraid to follow her own path, something C.J. has always admired. She walks straight to C.J., wrapping her in a loving embrace

“Are you okay? James told me what happened.” Alexi leaves an arm around her, and while C.J. knows it’s supposed to be comforting; all she can think about is how much she wants Alexi to leave. It’s one thing to rant to her elderly boss, someone who would love her in spite of her shortcomings and faults. But to know her own friend group has already heard about her misfortune, sending over someone to comfort and soothe, it was all just a little too pitiful for her to handle.

“Theta’s are throwing a party tonight. It’ll be the perfect pick-me-up, and you can forget all about Evans Jensen-“

“Eli Jennings” C.J. corrects.

“Whoever” Alexi rolls her eyes at the interruption, “is missing out on your incredible talent because of an idiotic professor’s incompetence. Everyone’s going and it won’t be the same without you, C.”

“As much as I would love that, Lex, I really just want to be alone tonight. Shitty beer, cheap Indian food, a sad movie so I don’t have to think about how these past four years have been a waste.”

“Not a waste, first of all. Look, I know that you’ve had this whole plan for your life since you popped out the womb, but shit happens, things change. This isn’t a failure, just think of it as a temporary setback. Plus, when life gives you lemons, you…” She trails off, waiting for C.J. to finish.

“Make lemonade?” She sighs.

“Use it to chase tequila.” Alexi giggles.

“I would go, but I have to close. Right, Bea?"

"Don't use me as an excuse. You should go, maybe find a boy to take home." Alexi makes a face at Beatrice's statement and C.J.'s face heats up.

“You’re going - no more buts. Wear something cute. Something that maybe doesn’t make if look like you were alive for Vietnam.” Alexi’s already leaving, kissing Beatrice lightly on the cheek on her way out.

This was how C.J. found herself standing outside the Theta Lambda frat house, October air chilling her through her jacket. She shifts her weight between her feet, surveying the small group around her. Alexi talks animatedly on the phone, asking for whoever to meet them out front.

A random person bumps into her, forcing her to spill the contents of her purse onto the dewey grass. C.J. groans, bending down to pick everything up while mentally thinking to herself all of the other things she could be doing right now.

A pair of dirty air forces steps in front of C.J. and she slowly looks up at the girl standing in front of her. She’s pretty, stunning actually. C.J. recognizes her immediately. Channing Williams - social chair of Rho Xi sorority and the key to all the best parties on campus. Dressed in a black romper and red velvet jacket, she’s everything C.J. isn’t and a quiet twinge of jealousy plucks her heart. ‘I bet she’s never lost out on an internship.’ she thinks bitterly.

“Sorry, do you know anyone?” Channing asks, voice soft and sweet with a clipboard in hand. C.J. looks at Alexi, waiting to hear her answer.

“Not really? I mean we know people, but we aren’t going to be on your clipboard or anything so if you could just let us slide through, I’m sure there’s someone here who could like vouch for us or something?” C.J. wants to slap her — not only did she drag her out in below-freezing weather, but she couldn’t even guarantee them a way inside.

“Well this is a greek-only party so unless you know anyone….” Channing trails off, not openly wanting to kick them out in front of so many people.

“That means no GDI’s.” C.J. didn’t even notice the miniature-sized freshman standing besides Channing. She clearly looks annoyed at the intrusion, keeping her from inside where everyone else is to deal with their little group. C.J. briefly wonders if the upturned stare is a requirement for Rho Xi or if that’s was just especially reserved for her.

“Geed’s?” Alexi repeats, raising an eyebrow.

“Goddamn independents. Y’know, not greek-affiliated.” At this point, C.J. is ready to call the whole night and retire in her bed when she see’s someone appear in between Channing.

“They’re cool, Chan. They’re with me.” Micayla Zhao enters, covered in glitter, sweat and what C.J. is almost sure to be a line of salt from a body shot. C.J. has always considered Micayla the only cool Rho Xi, having had multiple classes with her over the years. Micayla fit right in with their group: smart, beautiful and a wicked sense of humor.

Channing nods, seeming bored and just wanting to get back inside with everyone else. She does a quick finger tap with Micayla (sacred Rho Xi bullshit is what Alexi always calls it) and moving along the line.

“Are your sisters always that charming?” Micayla rolls her eyes, grabbing C.J. to move them through the house to the backyard. A huge bonfire is set up in the middle with a canopy near by for the designated drinking spot. She watches as Micayla confidently moves through the crowd, stopping from time to time to say hey to friends and classmates on the way.

“Most of the time. Look, they’re just possessive over tradition and the Rho-Theta party has always been major exclusive, Channing’s been fighting to make it open to outsiders.” Micayla yells over the thumping bass.

“Yeah, I’m sure they love all the GDI’s.” C.J. exaggerates her voice, pinching her nose to capture the nasally, valley accent Channing is almost famous for. Micayla stops, and had C.J. not been paying attention, she would’ve ran into her.

“Dude, you’re kind of being a bitch right now. Look, I get your bummed about your internship, but Channing wouldn't have let you in if she didn't want to. Would you rather be getting drunk, in your apartment alone?”

“Yeah, actually.” Micayla stares at C.J. for a second, looking like she’s about to bitch her out. As if Alexi can sense the fight forming, she grabs Micayla by the arm.

“Let’s go get a drink, you look like you need a drink in you.” They both walk towards the house, Alexi mouthing ‘Be Nice’ over her shoulder before disappearing completely. C.J. exhales, counting to 3 in her head before walking over to where drinks are set up.She fills up her solo cup, watching as the fizzy liquid moves closer and closer to the top. Before she can take a sip, someone bumps into her spilling half the drink over the side.

“Hey, watch it!” A thick Jersey accent exclaims, and C.J. groans, wondering if this night could get any worse.

“Bennett?”

Grayson appears in front of her, denim jacket over a black t-shirt and black jeans. She takes note of the dark spot growing on the front of his shirt, from where she spilt her drink.

“What’re you doing here?”

She simply shrugs, refilling the missing contents of her cup.“I didn’t know parties were your scene. I always imagined in your free time you’re in like a dark room, crying alone to Sylvia Plath novels.”

“Nice to know you think of me out of class, Grayson” C.J. takes a sip of her beer. She moves to walk away, hoping he would take it as an end of conversation.

"How'd you get in? Isn't this like Rho's only?" He asks, following her to the edge of the bonfire. She looks at him, watching as the light frames the features of his face.

"Couldn't I say the same about you? You're not a Theta." He just stares at her intensely until she relents, "Micayla Zhao got me in. Y'know her?"

"We had history together sophomore year. She helped me cheat on the midterms."

C.J. laughs shortly. "Sounds like her."

Grayson opens his mouth to speak again, but is cut off.

“As much as I’m enjoying this conversation, Grayson, don’t you have someone else to bother? Someone who, y’know, actually likes you?” If that comment bothered him, he didn’t show it, continuing talking to her as if they haven’t pissed each other off continuously for the past four years.

“What do you think about Michael Eichler getting the internship spot?” He asks. As if it wasn’t bad enough that she didn’t get the spot, now she has to sit and rub salt in the wound with her worst enemy.

“What’s there to think about? He got it, I didn’t. Fucking sucks.” He laughs, holding up his own drink.

“Cheers to that.” They both clink cups, and C.J. briefly wonders if the universe is still laughing at her.

"You know, that spot should've gone to one of us." He muses, watching the partygoers continue to stumble around them. He doesn't say anything after that, and she bites.

"Why should it have gone to one of us?"

"Well, think about it. We're both the top of our class, and I know for a fact Stevens has submitted your writing to collegiate magazines. There's no fucking way Michael fucking Eichler should've got that spot over one of us." C.J. pauses. She had known that Stevens appreciated her writing, but not enough to submit it anywhere. If what Grayson was saying was true, why hadn't she gotten the apprenticeship?

"Nothing I can really do about it now. He got the spot, I didn't. I guess I can become a second rate author now." She takes another sip, and Grayson snorts unattractively.

"I'm sure you'll be okay, Bennett. If Stevens like you, I'm sure there's another author dumb enough to want to publish your work too." She glares at him.

"And here I thought we were becoming friends."

"As if you actually would've wanted to become friends with me."

"Oh yeah, that's what I do in between my Sylvia Plath crying sessions. Desperately wish that Grayson Dolan would become my best friend." Sarcasm drips off every word and he looks at her before taking another long sip of his drink.

“You know you’re actually kinda cool, Bennett. When you’re not trying to bite my head off in the middle of lecture”

“Maybe if you didn’t have such shitty takes, I wouldn’t want too.” Whatever retort Grayson was planning falls from his lips when Channing appears by his side, tucking herself underneath his arm.

"Hey, Gray. I got you another drink." Two Coronas hang from her manicured hand, and he whispers inaudibly to her, giggling between the two of them. C.J. begins to feel awkward, and coughs uncomfortably.

“Oh, you’re the GDI from earlier,” Channing looks up at her half-lidded, dark eyelashes framing red-tinged brown eyes.

“Yeah, that’s me.” Channing shifts her weight, biting her lip and feeling like an intruder. "I didn't know you two knew each other?" C.J. supplies, feeling desperate for conversation

"Gray and I had math together freshman year, "They both stare at each other awkwardly, silent tension as they wait for the other to speak.

“So, I’m gonna go." She speaks.

“No, you don’t have to." Channing is already turned back to Grayson, looking like she wouldn't mind C.J.'s exit.

“No it’s fine” Neither Grayson nor Channing seem to protest anymore, and C.J. turns back to see her friends looking at her, both amused and curious at her interaction with the duo. She begins to walk towards them, feet and heart sinking with every step, not feeling any better about her current predicament.

“Hey Bennett,” She turns around to face Grayson. “Think about what I said. About the internship stuff” She just nods, and leaves the pair. The moment she reaches her initial group, Alexi pulls her towards them.

“You and Dolan were just talking and it didn't end in a screaming match. That’s new. What did he want?”

“Nothing. Just typical Grayson Dolan bullshit."Alexi looks like she doesn't believe her, and frankly C.J. doesn't believe herself. She thinks back to what Grayson said, about how they were the only real competition for the apprenticeship. Whatever he meant by that could be handled tomorrow.

"C’mon. Didn’t you say something earlier today about tequila shots?” She asks

“Atta, girl. That’s what I’m talking about.” She lets Alexi drag her away, sparing one last look at Grayson before entering the fraternity house.

Born 84 years ago today, 9th December 1934, Dame Judith Olivia Dench. In Britain, Dench has developed a reputation as one of the greatest actresses of the post-war period, primarily through her work in theatre, which has been her forté throughout her career. She has more than once been named number one in polls for Britain's best actor. My colourised picture from a black, and white promotional still shows Dench in the 1959 TV series "Hilda Lessways" (adapted from the Clayhanger family novels by Arnold Bennett), and according to "Lost U.K. TV Shows Search Engine", this series is believed to be lost. Dench was aged just 25, and this was her first television appearance.

Through her parents, Dench had regular contact with the theatre. Her father, a physician, was also the GP for the York theatre, and her mother was its wardrobe mistress. Actors often stayed in the Dench household. During these years, Judi Dench was involved on a non-professional basis in the first three productions of the modern revival of the York Mystery Plays in 1951, 1954 and 1957. In the third production she played the role of the Virgin Mary, performed on a fixed stage in the Museum Gardens. Though she initially trained as a set designer, she became interested in drama school as her brother Jeff attended the Central School of Speech and Drama. She applied and was accepted by the School, then based at the Royal Albert Hall, London, where she was a classmate of Vanessa Redgrave, graduating and being awarded four acting prizes, including the Gold Medal as Outstanding Student.

In September 1957, she made her first professional stage appearance with the Old Vic Company, at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, as Ophelia in Hamlet.

She remained a member of the company for four seasons, 1957–1961

The 1966 BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles was made to Dench for her performance in Four in the Morning and this was followed in 1968 by a BAFTA Television Best Actress Award for her role in John Hopkins' 1966 BBC drama Talking to a Stranger.

Dench made her debut as a director in 1988 with the Renaissance Theatre Company's touring season, Renaissance Shakespeare on the Road, co-produced with the Birmingham Rep, and ending with a three-month repertory programme at the Phoenix Theatre in London. Dench's contribution was a staging of Much Ado About Nothing, set in the Napoleonic era, which starred Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson as Benedick and Beatrice.

She has acted with the National Theatre in London where she played an unforgettable Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra (1987). In September 1995, she played Desiree Armfeldt in a major revival of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music, for which she won an Olivier Award.

After the long period between James Bond films Licence to Kill (1989) and GoldenEye (1995), the producers brought in Dench to take over as the role of M, James Bond's boss. The character was reportedly modeled on Dame Stella Rimington, the real-life head of MI5 between 1992 and 1996; Dench became the first woman to portray M, succeeding Robert Brown.

In 1997, Dench appeared in her first starring film role as Queen Victoria in John Madden's teleplay Mrs Brown, which depicts Victoria's relationship with her personal servant and favourite John Brown, played by Billy Connolly

In 1999, Dench won the Tony Award for her 1999 Broadway performance in the role of Esme Allen in Sir David Hare's Amy's View.

In January 2001, Dench's husband Michael Williams died of lung cancer. Dench went to Nova Scotia, Canada, almost immediately after Williams's funeral to begin production on Lasse Hallström's drama film The Shipping News, a therapy she later credited as her rescue.

A major hit for Dench came with Joe Wright's Pride & Prejudice, a 2005 adaptation of the novel by Jane Austen, starring Keira Knightley and Donald Sutherland.

In April 2006, Dench returned to the West End stage in Hay Fever alongside Peter Bowles and Belinda Lang.

Dench appeared opposite Cate Blanchett as a London teacher with a dedicated fondness for vulnerable women in Richard Eyre's 2006 drama film Notes on a Scandal, an adaption from the 2003 novel of the same name by Zoë Heller. A fan of Heller's book, Dench "was thrilled to be asked to ... play that woman, to try to find a humanity in that dreadful person".

Dench returned to the West End in mid-2009, playing Madame de Montreuil in Yukio Mishima's play Madame de Sade.

In 2011, Dench starred in Jane Eyre, My Week with Marilyn and J. Edgar

In 2013, Dench starred as the title character in the Stephen Frears-directed film, Philomena, a film inspired by true events of a woman looking for the son which the Catholic Church took from her a half-century before.

In 2016, Dench made Olivier Award history when she won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role in The Winter's Tale, breaking her own record with her eighth win as a performer

In July 2019 Judi presented a 2-part nature documentary series for ITV called Judi Dench's Wild Borneo Adventure in which she and her partner travelled across the island, looking at its remarkable wildlife and efforts by conservationists to preserve it for future generations.

Dench was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1970 Birthday Honours and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 1988 New Year Honours. She was appointed Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour (CH) in the 2005 Birthday Honours. In June 2011, she became a fellow of the British Film Institute (BFI).

This is my colourised version of a black, and white promotional still from "Hilda Lessways", broadcast in 1959

68.3k words || modern setting (sports, Olympics)/fusion AU (inspired by Yuuri On Ice) || teen & up audiences.

Relationships: Keith/Shiro.

Minor/Background Ships: Sendak/Shiro (an abusive garbage fire). past Adam/Lotor/Shiro, past Keith/OMC (one NPC college boyfriend who cheats on him), past Shiro/OMCs (one friend with benefits, and one guy who mistreated Shiro when he was 15-16); Adam/Lance/Lotor (endgame for them); Hunk/Romelle; Allura/Zethrid; James/Kinkade; Iverson/OMC husband Bennett; and Thace/Ulaz.

Additional Tags: Gay Disaster Shiro, Mutual Pining, Slow Burn, Keith was Raised by the Blade of Marmora, Iverson is Shiro's Godfather, Chubby Keith (it’s mostly slight & inspired by YOI but it’s there), Anxiety (Keith & Shiro both deal with it throughout). Abusive Sendak (karma comes for him in the end though). Drunk Driving & Loss of Limbs (both of these things are in chapter 8. the loss of limb is mostly off-screen but the drunk driving is NOT). Drunken Confessions & Drunken Kissing (in ch. 10, accompanied by a drunken pole-dance).

Summary

Takashi Shirogane never meant to establish himself as a figure skating god; he only wanted to do what he loves and skate. He also didn’t intend to fall for Keith Kogane, a younger skater who’d be an absolute prodigy, if he could focus better and truly channel his passion into his skating. Shiro definitely didn’t plan on becoming a coach barely two years after losing his right arm in the accident that his monster ex-boyfriend got them into.

On the other hand, though, Keith never meant to become Shiro’s friend, much less anything else, and he perpetually struggles to believe that Shiro wants literally anything to do with him. Why should Shiro want Keith in his life? He’s just a kid from Marmora who happens to skate half-decently. There is absolutely no way that carrying this torch for Shiro ends remotely well for Keith and if he were half as intelligent as his Mom likes to pretend he is, Keith would break things off before they go too far. That’s the best life-choice Keith has available to him.

(Un)Fortunately, neither Keith nor Shiro has much capacity for making good life-choices.

Written for @perfectlyrose in the Shiro’s birthday 2019 round of the @vldexchange (and I’m so, so sorry for how late this is going up)! ♡♡♡

"Oops—" Laughing bashfully, she pulled away slightly. Her cheeks pinkening with a light blush as she looked at her friend. "Sorry, sorry. Actually, not really. I've missed you so much and I'm so happy to see you back here. It's been too long, you're not allowed to leave ever again. I forbid it entirely."

Nodding, she was relieved to hear that his return was extremely recent. Of course, she would've understand had he needed a few days to get situated before being out and about. Nevertheless, however, she was more than happy to see him. "Ahhh, so I'm your first? I feel incredibly honoured. This feels like proof that I'm your favourite person in town. If only you brought Rey with you." Her eyes brightened at his admittance. Looking back at the table, her smile only grew once she saw the mug. "God, have I told you how much I love you? You're an absolute gem. And listen! My exhaustion is not purely work-based, thank you very much."

Asli giggled softly as she moved back to her spot. Settling happily in her seat as she grabbed the warm drink, sighing as she breathed in its scent and took a sip. It all felt so perfect. James being back filled her with so much happiness, she could only hope that her brother would stay for a more permanent amount of time than before.

"Mmm, they're all doing amazing! Eli's loving dad life, even though he also finds a new thing to panic over and his dramatic reactions to Rhia now being in her grabbing phase has been hilarious. Alex is becoming more and more of a genius every day, and she's been making a lot more friends. Rhia's growing so quickly, I swear she was just a little newborn a week ago. I nearly forgotten just how fast they grow. Soon enough, she'll be walking and talking and I don't know who's more unprepared for that. My money's on Eli. And the cats are all still troublemakers, though Oliver's fallen in love with Rhia." Chuckling, she shook her head. "In my defense, I got the okay from Eli that he could handle things on the home front while I got some work done. I've officially been given the greenlight to curate the new wing and my deadline before we can start officially work on it is next month, so I needed a more quiet area where I'm not easily persuaded by my family to spend time with them and put work off. Now, what about you? Are you back in town for good? What's all going on with you?" ||📜@jjbennett

James couldn't help but laugh though it immediately turned into a wheeze as the air suddenly exited him quickly as Asli squeezed him tight. "Whoa! I—Asli... oxygen..."

When she finally did eventually let go, he beamed widely. "I actually just arrived this evening. Decided to take a walk around, and look who's the first familiar face I run into?" His head nodded towards her tea. "Ordered you your usual. Figured your could use it. And I missed you too, you work goblin."

Up until this day, he couldn't really explain how he and Asli became so close. He was recluse when he first arrived at Providence Peak. Asli, being pretty much the personification of sunshine, shone through his walls and obliterated them. The two of them had gone through so many things despite technically knowing each other only briefly. Apparently, shared trauma does bring people together, so much so that James pretty much considered Asli a sister.

"How's Eli and the kids?" he asked as he sat back in his chair and placed his glasses down. "And shouldn't you be there at home with them instead of... well, here?"

Floyd Bennett Field

[ad_1]

one

There are an escalating variety of New York place airports, including all those on Prolonged Island, in Westchester County, and in New Jersey, yet handful of are in a position to name New York City's very 1st airport. Even much less are in a position to describe why it no extended exists. That airport is Floyd Bennett Discipline and it has had a few distinctive historical phases.

Tracing its origins to Lindbergh's historic, New York-Paris solo flight, it had alerted the entire world to the point that the aircraft had not departed from New York at all, but from Prolonged Island as a substitute, and that the only true "New York" airport had been positioned throughout the condition line, in New Jersey. Hence indicating the need for a devoted, New York-positioned, municipal airport, it had led to the institution of a panel headed by famed aviator Clarence D. Chamberlain to lookup for a ideal web page for one.

The subsequently picked locale, a 387-acre marsh on Barren Island south of Brooklyn, New York, had housed a little community, a horse-rendering plant, and the correctly-named, single-dust runway Barren Island Airport, which had been owned by Paul Rizzo and had been utilised for periodic passenger sightseeing flights. The web page, portion of 33 tiny islands, enjoyed favorable winds, lacked strategy obstructions, had been predominantly fog-free, and offered wide expanses for foreseeable future progress. The airport, supposed as a condition-of-the-art gateway to what had been regarded one of the world's biggest metropolitan areas, had been named "Floyd Bennett Discipline" right after the Brooklyn resident and naval aviator who had served as Richard E. Byrd's pilot on his historic North Pole flight in 1926. Both had received the Congressional Medal of Honor for the feat.

Construction, by the Metropolis Office of Docks, coincidentally transpired on Oct 29, 1929, the similar day that the stock sector had crashed, and entailed the relationship of the islets by filling in their interspersing channels with 6 million cubic toes of sand pumped from the base of Jamaica Bay and elevating its resultant elevation 16 toes over the tidewater, to hook up it to Prolonged Island.

Runway fifteen-33, spanning 3,100 toes, and Runway 6-24, at 4,000 toes, had constituted the airport's 1st topographical building assignments, alongside with a taxiway. Through the two-12 months period involving 1929 and 1931, four pairs of hangars had similarly risen from the former marshes: internally measuring 120 by a hundred and forty toes, the metal body structures showcased trussed, arched roofs, concrete slab floors, and picket decks, and had been supported by forty five-foot-very long pre-solid concrete piles.

A neo-Georgian-fashion, pink and black brick, two-tale Administration Creating, concluded in 1931, had been sandwiched involving the now-prolonged, airport obtainable Flatbush Avenue and the runways, and showcased a semi-octagonal, a few-floored, projecting handle booth of glass and metal atop it. The creating had also served as the passenger terminal.

Floyd Bennett Discipline, which had been given the a few-letter IATA code of "NOP," had been devoted on June 26, 1930 amid a flying armada of 600 US Military Air Corps aircraft led by Charles Lindbergh and Jimmy Doolittle and attended by a 25,000-powerful group. The airport, which had officially opened a 12 months later on Could 23, 1931, had been given the US Office of Commerce A-one-A rating, its maximum, because of its hitherto sophisticated services: its modern-day terminal, paved runways, and their lights devices for nighttime operations.

These services, attracting an escalating variety of popular, "Golden Age" pilots such as Wiley Article, Jacqueline Cochran, Roscoe Turner, Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes, and Clarence Chamberlain, enabled them to start or terminate document velocity and length flights listed here because of its strategic, east price locale and very long runways, which had permitted superior gasoline load gross excess weight acquire offs to be executed.

Require dictated enlargement. In 1936, two more runways had been concluded: 3,five hundred-foot Runway one-19 and 3,200-foot Runway 12-thirty. The first Runway fifteen-33 had also been lengthened to 3,five hundred toes at this time. Between 1936 and 1938, the Operates Development Administration had produced further support wings involving every hangar to home device shops and routine maintenance services.

Although Floyd Bennett Discipline had turn out to be the United State's 2nd-busiest airport two years right after it had opened, with 51,828 yearly acquire offs and landings, handful of of them had constituted industrial operations which normally transported passengers, baggage, cargo, and mail. Mayor Fiorello La Guardia had frequently tried to establish the facility as New York's principle municipal airfield, usurping the part performed by Newark in New Jersey, but given that passenger profits had then only been incremental to a carrier's profitability, and not integral to it, like that of the mail, and given that the US Postal Provider alone had refused to transfer its New York operations heart from Newark to Floyd Bennett Discipline, the airport could hardly ever turn out to be the viable industrial facility envisioned throughout its inception. Other than American Airlines' short term relocation, it had principally remained a Common Aviation airfield.

However, the most important chapters of aviation's Golden Age had been prepared listed here. Between 1931 and 1939, ten noteworthy cross-region and 16 transatlantic and spherical-the-entire world flights had all originated or terminated from the marsh-to-concrete remodeled patch appendaged to southern Brooklyn.

In July of 1931, for occasion, a Bellanca CH Pacer, a superior-wing monoplane powered by a single, three hundred-hp Wright J-6 Whirlwind engine, had recognized a length document of five,011.eight miles when it had flown from Floyd Bennett Discipline to Istanbul, Turkey. On August 29 of the adhering to 12 months, a Pratt and Whitney Wasp Junior-powered Waddell Williams had recognized a new transcontinental velocity document of 10.19 hours on its flight to Los Angeles. In July of 1933, Wiley Article had flown a Pratt and Whitney Wasp-engined Lockheed Vega named "Winnie Mae" around the entire world in 7 times, 18 hours, 49 minutes, and thirty seconds. He had also been the 1st to circumnavigate the globe solo, covering fifteen,596 miles in four times, 19 hours, and 36 minutes.

Wings had stretched from Brooklyn as much as the Center East. In August, for instance, an Hispano-Suiza-powered Bleriot one hundred ten had flown the five,657.4 miles to Syria in fifty five hours.

By 1934, eight transatlantic flights had transpired from Floyd Bennett Discipline and quite a few successively improved transcontinental types. Key James H. Doolittle, piloting a Wright Cyclone-powered American Vultee, had notched up a transcontinental document for a passenger transportation group aircraft, completing the Los Angeles-New York sector in eleven.59 hours. A 2nd transportation group document had been obtained in April of that 12 months when a TWA DC-one had flown from Burbank in eleven hours, five minutes, forty five seconds. Douglas DC-1s subsequently recognized 22 velocity documents from Floyd Bennett Discipline with superior gross weights, simulating industrial transportation payload and array capabilities.

One particular 12 months later, on April 21, 1936, Howard Hughes had recognized an intercity velocity document when he had flown a Wright Cyclone-powered Northrop Gamma involving Miami and Brooklyn in four hours, 21 minutes, 32 seconds. Afterwards in that 12 months, in Oct, a Bellanca Flash, powered by a Pratt and Whitney Wasp engine, had flown to Newfoundland and London-Croydon in 13 hours, seventeen minutes.

Howard Hughes, using the highlight again in 1938, had piloted a Lockheed 14N Super Electra, powered by two Pratt and Whitney 900-hp Wright Cyclones, on a document-breaking world wide circumnavigation, completing the flight in a few times, 19 hours, eight minutes, and ten seconds.

Potentially the most popular flight blunder, or so it is alleged, also transpired that July when Douglas Corrigan, who had been denied authorization to fly to Europe, filed a flight approach to California as a substitute. After using off in his Curtiss Robin, powered by a one hundred sixty five-hp Wright Whirlwind J-6 engine, the aircraft proceeded nonstop to Ireland in 28 hours, 13 minutes, allegedly because of to "compass problems," thus earning him the nickname of "Mistaken Way Corrigan."

The Germans had flown to Floyd Bennett Discipline in 24 hours, fifty minutes, 12 seconds in August of 1938 when their Focke-Wulf Fw-200 prototype, powered by four 875-hp Hornet engines, had created the crossing from Berlin. The return journey had been concluded in 19 hours, fifty five minutes, one 2nd, beating Wiley Post's document by five and a 50 % hours.

Irrespective of all this exercise, New York's 1st municipal airport, supposed as an spectacular gateway to the world's most spectacular town, hardly ever formulated into its supposed posture, remaining a Common Aviation airfield as a substitute. Many explanations could be cited as to why.

The US Postal Service's March 22, 1936 rejection of Floyd Bennett Field's air terminal application signaled the airport's major and most definitive demise knoll.

Flatbush Avenue had served as its only ground access.

Newark Airport had furnished higher transportation one-way links to Manhattan.

The airport had commenced building and tried to function inside of the Good Depression.

Air travel had not yet been accepted as a general public transportation signifies.

Air travel fares had been prohibitive to the basic general public.

It would later turn out to be La Guardia Airport.

Floyd Bennett Field's 2nd substitution, the much larger-place Idlewild Airport, similarly positioned on Jamaica Bay, would also shortly be designed.

Floyd Bennett Field's previous industrial flight departed on Could 26, 1941, but with war clouds draping on their own over considerably of the entire world, it had extracted more than rain from them: it had adopted a new goal.

War-sparked enlargement of the US Navy, which had 1st occupied Floyd Bennett Field's Hangar five and later Hangar one, resulted in the eventual $nine million sale of the airfield by the Metropolis of New York to it, and on June 2, 1941, it had been re-selected "Naval Air Station New York."

Because of its proximity to New York and Prolonged Island naval aircraft brands, amongst them Probability-Vought, Common Motors, and Grumman, it had logically been the closest airport which could accept, test, and ferry their layouts to their respective overcome theaters, processing everything from amphibious patrol aircraft to aircraft carrier-based mostly fighters and bombers. By 1943, the course of action had been concluded in as handful of as a few times.

The war had necessitated considerable airport infrastructure enlargement. The first Runway fifteen-33, for instance, had been lengthened to 4,five hundred-foot taxiway T-10 by 1942. The 2nd runway to have been produced, 6-24, had similarly been converted into taxiways T-one and T-2, and had been replaced by a new, five,000-foot runway with the similar magnetic compass headings. Runway one-19 had also been lengthened to five,000 toes that 12 months and would later turn out to be the airport's longest when it had been prolonged to seven,000 toes. And Runway 12-thirty had also been expanded to five,000 toes and, even now later, to five,five hundred toes.

Apart from the fixed-wing aircraft things to do, the Navy had recognized the world's 1st helicopter education facility at Naval Air Station New York for air-sea rescue operations with Sikorsky R-4 helicopters, apply sorties having transpired specifically off of the airport in Jamaica Bay. Military air Corps, Coastline Guard, Navy, and Royal Navy pilots had all educated listed here right before having been sent to the China-Burma-India and Pacific Theaters.

PBY Catalinas and other patrol aircraft had routinely flown from Naval Air Station New York to escort and shield the ships transporting elements for the Lend-Lease Method from subsurface German U-boats.

Navy WAVES, or Women of all ages Acknowledged for Volunteer Outstanding Provider, directed visitors to and from the airfield by working radio products in the handle tower.

Through Environment War II, the air station, having served as the base for numerous Atlantic Fleet units, a few submarine patrol squadrons, a Scout Observation Provider unit, and two Naval Air Transport Provider squadrons, had turn out to be the busiest and had processed more than 46,000 aircraft.

The airport had turn out to be a submit-war reserve station, enjoying roles in the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and had served as the base for the Air Nationwide Guard throughout the Cold War. It had also been the locale of civilian pilot, flight engineer, and mechanic education.

When all these armed forces conflicts had in the end been resolved, on the other hand, the air station's goal had progressively diminished.

Decommissioned and no extended lively as possibly a industrial or Common Aviation airport, Floyd Bennett Discipline had been transferred to the Nationwide Park Provider in 1972, getting to be a portion of its Gateway Nationwide Recreation Space. One particular of the 1st urban parks in the Nationwide Park Process, it encompasses a few units in two states: the Jamaica Bay Unit in Brooklyn, New York the Staten Island Unit in Staten Island, New York and the Sandy Hook Unit in New Jersey.

Floyd Bennett Field's only air exercise, other than an occasional air show, is that of the New York Metropolis Police Office which bases its fleet of Bell Jet Ranger helicopters listed here and takes advantage of portion of one of the former runways for operational uses. As a heliport, it is selected "NY22."

Four of the eight first hangars had been adapted for concession reuse in 2006.

The former Administration Creating/Passenger Terminal, now selected the William Fitts Ryan Visitor Heart, is open to the general public and, while its halls and rooms present tiny more than interpretive displays and a little gift shop, one can even now climb the concrete stairs at the building's façade the place passengers had transferred from taxis, automobiles, and buses, and enter the central lobby, which had been the locale of the passenger check-in services. Soon after depositing and weighing their baggage, and obtaining a boarding folder, they had then exited the aft doors to the observation balcony which had ignored the propeller-spinning aircraft on the ramp awaiting them and accessed by portable boarding stairs. Baggage had been wheeled by cart from the building's decrease stage up the substantially inclined ramp and throughout the field to the aircraft alone. The handle tower had been specifically over them, atop the terminal.

Although the creating is now quiet and deserted, one can even now feeling the era's historical past it had absorbed, of the existence scenarios enacted in it and facilitated by it. Its silence ironically tells its tale, serving as the line of contrast involving what had been and what no extended was.

Its inner roadways, at the time Floyd Bennett Field's runway and taxiway infrastructure, even now bear their magnetic compass headings and can be freely pushed.

Throughout from the Visitor Heart, on the east aspect and at considerable length by way of former Runway 6-24, is yet another general public-obtainable creating, Hangar B. Manufactured by the Navy throughout Environment War II for its VRF-4 base, one of Naval Air Station New York's Naval Air Ferry Command squadrons, it had been utilised as a Naval Air Reserve education facility to get ready pilots and ground crews for the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Disaster, and the Vietnam War. Now utilised by the Nationwide Park Service's Volunteer-In-Park Method Historic Plane Restoration Job (HARP) devoted, given that 1995, to preserving aviation historical past at Floyd Bennett Discipline and deciphering its part, it houses a collection of both fixed wing and rotary aircraft which stand for the airport's two principle eras—its Municipal Airport position from 1931 to 1941 and its Naval Air Station functionality from 1941 to 1971—and the five products and services which had operated from it: the Air Nationwide Guard, the New York Metropolis Police Office, the US Coastline Guard, the US Maritime Corps, and the US Navy.

Floyd Bennett Discipline, a tiny parcel of land which had been remodeled from marsh to concrete, and had performed important roles in New York's Golden Age and armed forces aviation eras, has been lowered to silence and inactivity as it now sits in the shadow of its substitution, JFK International Airport, from which mulitple, European-bound normally takes offs routinely take place, a shadow from which all those European-bound flights had ironically been confirmed. As such, it had served as a stage the place a quick, but important piece of New York aviation historical past had been acted out, leaving only its memory and its effects—indeed, and in essence, the very goal of the world alone, proving that, when a existence cycle has been concluded and has fulfilled its goal, that it can only pave the way for all those to stick to, but can hardly ever be reused alone.
