Upstairs Downstairs: Hallam Holland [INTJ 1w9]

Functional Order: Ni-Te-Fi-Se

Hallam has an extraordinary ability to make accurate predictions, and a blunt manner of self-expression in how he talks about these things. He thinks Germany is a rising threat long before the public become aware of it, and persists in talking about it in a warning manner, even though no one is willing to listen to him. He suspects Mrs. Simspon has ‘nefarious’…

[bexinthecity05]

Remember when in series one Hallam and Agnes were adorable and in love and everyone thought they were perfect?

And then he fucked his wife's sister in series two because despite many people telling him agnes was drifting and he needed to get her back, HE felt lost and so did the only thing that apparently made sense. Fuck you Hallam!

Booklet with new writing by Lindsay Hallam and Alexandra West (first pressing only)

Shy misfit Sarah Goodwin (Kay Lenz), has a secret gift: the ability to control — and destroy — with her mind. When Sarah goes off to college with her more outgoing and popular sister, Patty (Morgan Brittany, Sundown: The Vampire In Retreat), their plans to join the most prestigious sorority on campus are scuttled by snobby president, Jennifer Lawrence (Morgan Fairchild). Separated from her sister, Sarah is taken in by a rival, less popular sorority, whose mysterious house mother, Mrs. Hunter (Shelley Winters), is harboring a secret of her own: a scheme to harness Sarah’s terrifying power for revenge. Betrayed by Patty, humiliated by Jennifer, it can only be a matter of time before Sorority Hell Week erupts in flame!

Hi yes, Agnes 10000% deserved better and I will be forever upset about

I was concerned, while watching s1, that they’d make Agnes be one of those aristocrats that don't give a damn about the people “beneath her”. But she was far more than that. She was BY FAR the strongest character in the show!

She took Maud’s crap, yet never spoke ill of her nor to her and earned her respect.

She valued Mrs Buck’s opinion when it came to the household above all else and asked for her advice, even sought it out (I cried RIVERS with their one scene in s2, THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!😭😭😭) and eventually considered her family and not just her housekeeper.

She took care of another woman’s child, even though she was about to pop and too scared that her own baby wouldn’t make it once again.

SHE GAVE BIRTH IN A FREAKIN’ BATHROOM FLOOR ON HER OWN WITH HER BUTLER’S HELP!!!

She treated Pamela so lovingly, so sweetly, never once thought less of her just because of her illness, she cared for her way better than even Hallam who was supposedly devastated in the thought that his sister had died when they were kids.

She took care of her fucking idiot, disgusting bitch of i-hope-she-jumps-from-the-balcony-and-dies little sister and tried her best to make a valued member of the society out of her only to be treated like shit!

She took absolute CRAP from her senior maid and instead of firing her and throwing her to the streets for shaming her the way she did (like many women of her class would do), she responded by answering all of Beryl’s requests and extended them later to all of her staff in order to make their life easier and better. All of that without shouts or rudeness, but with calmness and A SMILE!

In a world where queer people were condemned and considered mentally ill, which is outrageous by itself, she openly supported Blanche and, in contrast with EVERYONE ELSE IN THAT HOUSE AND IN THE WORLD, she stood by her side and admired her even more for it!!!

SHE TOOK CARE OF HER HANGOVER BUTLER, CLEANED AFTER HIS MESS AND COOKED HIM BREAKFAST BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IN HER HOUSEHOLD HAD OVERSLEPT DUE TO PARTYING LATE, WHO FUCKING DOES THAT???????

All that and so much more, only to be called pompous and arrogant by Beryl at the end, to be taken advantage of by her bitch of a sister, be cheated in the WORST POSSIBLE WAY by her husband and and and… I COULD GO ON!!!!!

And then there was Caspar! Who never once made a sexist remark, never once looked down to her, he actually admired her more just for being who she was in their society and for managing to be such a nice and loving and giving person, and, of course, who always VALUED HER AND HER DIGNITY!! She could have cheated, she could have left with him, yet she didn’t even try, and he loved her more just for that and… uuuuuuuuuuughhhh it HURTS!! There should have been a 3rd series, THEY STILL HAVE TIME TO MAKE ONE NOW!

Conclusion: yes, Lady Agnes Holland DESERVED THE WORLD, THE MOON AND STARS AND THE BEYOND, SHE DESERVED BETTER!😭

“You’re good, as well as beautiful. One of those things I can’t change. The other I never shall.“

The volume on the Middle Ages

The volume on the Middle Ages is indeed one of those permanent and synthetic works which have been almost driven out of modern libraries by the growth of special studies, but it belongs to that order of general histories of which we are now so greatly in need. For the consolidatiori of States in Italy we must resort to Sismondi’s Italian Republics, of which there is a small English abridgment; for that of France to Michelet; for Spain to Prescott’s Ferdinand and Isabella; and for England to Hallam’s Constitutional History of England; this, though fifty years have much impaired its value, still holds the field by its judicial balance of mind. For later authorities we must turn to the general Histories of England of J. R. Green and of Dr. F. Bright. But .we can point to no work save that of Robertson which in one general view will give us the history of Europe in the sixteenth century.

II.For the Renascence of Learning and Art, we have no better exponents than Burckhardt, Michelet, and Sy- monds. The German is full of learning and sound judgment; the Frenchman has a single volume of wonderful brilliancy and passion; the Englishman has produced a long series of works charged with learning and almost overloaded with ingenious criticism and superabundant illustration. But the Renascence is best studied in the biographies of its leaders, Lorenzo de’ Medici, Columbus, Bruno, Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo, Rabelais, Erasmus, Ariosto, and Calderon—in the great paintings, buildings, inventions, and poems — in such books as those of Cellini, More, Montaigne, and Cervantes. A movement so subtle, so diffused, so complex can have no history. But its spirit has been caught and embalmed by Michelet in some hundred pages of almost continuous epigram and poetry. A sort of catalogue raisonnte presenting its versatile and ingenious force may be best collected from a study of Hallam’s great work— The Literature of Europe in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries private turkey tours.

III. For the Reformation we rely on Ranke’s History of the Popes, especially for Germany. For England the history has been adequately told both by Green and by Froude; for Holland by Motley; for France by Michelet. It is here of course that the most violent partisanship comes in to disturb the tranquil judgment-seat of history. History becomes controversy rather than record. The Catholic will consult the splendid polemical invective of Bossuet — The Variations of Protestantism. The Protestant will rely on the vehement impeachment of Merle D’Aubigne.

Peace of Westphalia to the close of the Seven Years

IV. The dynastic, territorial, and colonial struggles from the Peace of Westphalia to the close of the Seven Years’ War have been well summarised by Heeren in his Political System, by Michelet in his summary of Modern History, and by Duruy in his Histoire des Temps Moderues. There is no book which can be said to enter into literature and gives an adequate picture of this period, unless it be Voltaire’s Age of Louis xiv. and Louis xv. Lord Stanhope’s Histories of Queen Anne and of England, Carlyle’s Frederick the Great, H. Martin’s Histoire de France, Lecky’s excellent History of England in the Eighteenth Century, are standard works for this period; but they are all far too voluminous, too special, and diffuse for the purposes of the general reader, nor do they enter into the scheme of the present essay.

V. Nor again is it possible to put into the hands of the general reader of English any single work which will give an adequate conception of the successive struggles for freedom in Holland, England, and America. They must be read in the separate histories, of which there are some that are excellent, though all of a formidable length and bulk. The nine volumes which Motley devoted in his three works on the struggle in Holland, the three works of Guizot on the English Revolution and its leaders, the standard work of Bancroft on the United States, form a series beyond the resources of the mere general reader as distinct from the student.

The volume on the Middle Ages

The volume on the Middle Ages is indeed one of those permanent and synthetic works which have been almost driven out of modern libraries by the growth of special studies, but it belongs to that order of general histories of which we are now so greatly in need. For the consolidatiori of States in Italy we must resort to Sismondi’s Italian Republics, of which there is a small English abridgment; for that of France to Michelet; for Spain to Prescott’s Ferdinand and Isabella; and for England to Hallam’s Constitutional History of England; this, though fifty years have much impaired its value, still holds the field by its judicial balance of mind. For later authorities we must turn to the general Histories of England of J. R. Green and of Dr. F. Bright. But .we can point to no work save that of Robertson which in one general view will give us the history of Europe in the sixteenth century.

II.For the Renascence of Learning and Art, we have no better exponents than Burckhardt, Michelet, and Sy- monds. The German is full of learning and sound judgment; the Frenchman has a single volume of wonderful brilliancy and passion; the Englishman has produced a long series of works charged with learning and almost overloaded with ingenious criticism and superabundant illustration. But the Renascence is best studied in the biographies of its leaders, Lorenzo de’ Medici, Columbus, Bruno, Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo, Rabelais, Erasmus, Ariosto, and Calderon—in the great paintings, buildings, inventions, and poems — in such books as those of Cellini, More, Montaigne, and Cervantes. A movement so subtle, so diffused, so complex can have no history. But its spirit has been caught and embalmed by Michelet in some hundred pages of almost continuous epigram and poetry. A sort of catalogue raisonnte presenting its versatile and ingenious force may be best collected from a study of Hallam’s great work— The Literature of Europe in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries private turkey tours.

III. For the Reformation we rely on Ranke’s History of the Popes, especially for Germany. For England the history has been adequately told both by Green and by Froude; for Holland by Motley; for France by Michelet. It is here of course that the most violent partisanship comes in to disturb the tranquil judgment-seat of history. History becomes controversy rather than record. The Catholic will consult the splendid polemical invective of Bossuet — The Variations of Protestantism. The Protestant will rely on the vehement impeachment of Merle D’Aubigne.

Peace of Westphalia to the close of the Seven Years

IV. The dynastic, territorial, and colonial struggles from the Peace of Westphalia to the close of the Seven Years’ War have been well summarised by Heeren in his Political System, by Michelet in his summary of Modern History, and by Duruy in his Histoire des Temps Moderues. There is no book which can be said to enter into literature and gives an adequate picture of this period, unless it be Voltaire’s Age of Louis xiv. and Louis xv. Lord Stanhope’s Histories of Queen Anne and of England, Carlyle’s Frederick the Great, H. Martin’s Histoire de France, Lecky’s excellent History of England in the Eighteenth Century, are standard works for this period; but they are all far too voluminous, too special, and diffuse for the purposes of the general reader, nor do they enter into the scheme of the present essay.

V. Nor again is it possible to put into the hands of the general reader of English any single work which will give an adequate conception of the successive struggles for freedom in Holland, England, and America. They must be read in the separate histories, of which there are some that are excellent, though all of a formidable length and bulk.
