#George Grantham

[mitjalovse]

The 70's aren't monolithic, they had a couple of very powerful genres. I would dare to propose the major styles were glam rock, folk rock and punk, i.e. these were probably the strongest of them all, though others were present as well. However, the majority of the decade felt defined by the first two idioms I mentioned. Poco, for instance, could be broadly categorized as folk rock with the added elements of country. One could say they resembled Neil Young at times and some members of the group actually worked with the latter in Buffalo Springfield. Thus, they paradoxically went both in the other direction than him and Stills – he was also in Buffalo Springfield, which makes a lot of sense for a section of the 70's, when you notice that –, while they also complemented what he did.

I googled Sybil Marston, and unexpectedly most of the results are about a shipwreck in California. But it runs out this Sybil’s father, Captain William Harrington Marston, was in shipping, and the boat was named after her.

But while Moppè was away, Somerville and his fellow run-hunters were doing their work in the once-forbidden valleys. Soon after Somerville set down at Tent Hill, James "Cocky" Rogers seized 30,000 acres over Lockyer Creek on behalf of his employer, George Mocatta. He called the run Grantham.

The band pictured from left to right are keyboard player Richard Wright, guitarist and singer Syd Barrett (obscured) and drummer Nick Mason. This image is from a recently discovered collection featuring Barbeque '67, also known as the Spalding Rock Festival. Organised by Grantham promoter Brian Thompson, who had booked Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band, The Move, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream, all supported by a local band called Sounds Force Five to play in the Tulip Bulb Auction Hall in Spalding, Lincolnshire on the Spring Bank Holiday Monday 29th May 1967. The event was advertised nationally, with thousands making their way to the market town and resulting in radio appeals for people to turn back. The attendance was estimated between 4,000 and 6,000 with twice as many unable to gain entry. Tickets to attend the event cost just £1.

Welcome to Letters2fiction!

The concept here is to send in a question or a letter request, and you’ll get a response from your fictional character of choice, from the list below. Please stick to the list I’ve made, but of course, you can ask if there’s some other characters I write for, I don’t always remember all the shows, movies or books I’ve consumed over the years and I’m sure I’m missing a lot 😅

Short Mary & Matthew ficlet #2

Prompt: Matthew tells Mary the truth about Gregson

"He's married?!"

"Yes."

"And he's after Edith?!"

"Yes."

"And his wife is in an insane asylum?"

"Yes."

Matthew looked at his wife and for the first time in a long while, he couldn't read her. There was a thunderous look on her face, but he wasn't certain if it was anger, or indignation, or just the shock of what he'd jus revealed to her about Mr Gregson's situation as it relates to Edith. God knows Matthew had a hard time accepting the man's story and he'd heard it come out of him in a stream of regret (and delusion) that couldn't have been manufactured. And had no reason to be so, really.

Mary was still lost in her head, and he took her hand in his. She'd only given birth a week ago, maybe he shouldn't have told her just yet, why upset her over Edith's troubles?

"You know of course that I'll look out for her? We can handle this ourselves because obviously we can't tell your father.

"Lord no."

Matthew nodded "He'll give himself a heart attack. Or find a way to get Gregson murdered." He offered as reassurance, hoping to get her to relax against him as she had before.

"Like in a house fire?" were the words that came out of Mary's mouth, and Matthew frowned.

"What do you mean?"

She turned to him, suddenly a mirthful look in her eyes, curls framing her face so beautifully he had a hard time remembering why exactly they were talking about this in bed when they should be curled up like kittens. He was completely lost in his sappy thoughts when Mary spoke:

"Darling. Please. Tell me you've noticed the resemblance."

"What resemblance?"

"The tragic man. With the demented wife. Trying to get an unmarried woman to involve herself with him. My father seeking revenge with a burning passion."

He was sure she could see him connecting the dots in his head because she suddenly burst out laughing, and he had to cover his face with his hands. Because of course. Of course.

He let her calm herself down, and couldn't help the smirk on his face throughout, but once she settled again he gently reminded her of the seriousness of the situation "Darling please. Don't... mention this to Edith. We'll have enough trouble persuading her to drop him as it is."

"Without her seeing herself as the tragic heroine of a romance novel, you mean?"

He heard himself laugh and instantly regretted it, because it set off Mary's laughter.

"You mustn't joke." He was a hypocrite and he knew it. He was laughing himself.

"I know. Which is why, darling, you have to make excuses for me tomorrow."

"What do you mean?"

"I cannot possibly come downstairs to greet him. I don't know if it's the baby, but I'm feeling quite overwhelmed. I might laugh in his face! Or call him Mr Rochester by mistake."

Matthew huffed "Do you know after this conversation I might have the same problem."

Mary shook her head "God. We need a good reason. Maybe George was colicky and kept us up all night."

"You want to use our son as an excuse?!"

"He has to start pulling his weight, Matthew! He'll be Lord Grantham one day, I'm sure he'll understand."

"Well. You're nursing, so you can't be separate from him for long."

"No, of course not."

"And I'm devoted to you, so I wouldn't leave you to deal with a crying baby on your own."

"Absolutely not."

"Well then. I think your parents will have to deal with Mr Rochester by themselves tomorrow."

He did manage to get her to relax and go to sleep. After another round of giggles.
