Biblical References in Lord Peter Wimsey Novels: Have His Carcase

I would like to eventually have a post like this for each book, but since this is the one I most recently finished, we're starting with this one instead of at the beginning.

If I've missed any, do tell, because I would love a Complete and Accurate List. I don't think there are any major spoilers here, but just in case, I'll put 'em under a cut!

Chapter 4:

"Who told you about the body?"

"I nosed it from afar. Where the carcase is, there shall be eagles gathered together. May I join you over the bacon and eggs?"

Chapter 8:

He had covenanted with himself to interview Colonel Belfridge at eleven o'clock.

This one is more Biblical language than an actual quote, but I'm counting it because according to my rules it fits.

Chapter 9:

"...Alexis wasn't the sort to take a long country walk for the intoxicating pleasure of sitting on a rock.

"True, O Queen. Live for ever. ..."

Chapter 10:

"Wilvercombe is the more probable direction of the two, because anybody coming from Lesston Hoe would have seen her and put his crime off to a more convenient season, as Shakespeare says."

This one cracks me up because Inspector Umpelty has, earlier in the chapter, attributed a quote to the Bible which is not one.

Chapter 12:

But now, with the hope that they might be found to have entertained an angel of darkness unawares, they foresaw all manner of publicity.

Chapter 16a:

"Two boats stationed off the Grinders."

"Fishermen?"

"Fishers of men, I fancy," replied Wimsey, grimly.

Chapter 16b:

Harriet: Oh, death! where is thy sting?

Chapter 16c:

Harriet (reading): 'Last of all the woman died also' — probably from backache.

Chapter 16d:

Harriet: What is that in your hand?

Peter: A dead starfish.

This one, I admit, some might argue about, but it is EXACTLY the kind of thing I would do, pull some obscure quote and have a character use it, so I'm giving DLS this one.

Chapter 21:

"A contempt for money, Inspector, is the root—or at any rate, the very definite sign—of all evil."

An adaptation rather than a quote, but a very strong one.

Chapter 23:

Presently the inner door opened again and the young lady emerged, clothed and apparently very much in her right mind, for she smiled round...

Chapter 25:

"Which brings us to the point that either Weldon's party wrote the letter or the foreign party did the murder."

"True, O king."

Chapter 31:

"I said the Wilvercombe alibi would stand, and it has broken in pieces like a potter's vessel."

WIP WEDNESDAY WHENEVER

I got tagged by @ghostoffuturespast and @chevvy-yates for WIP Wednesday Whenever. It is Wednesday where I am so that works out!

Firstly, things that are no longer WIP:

I made a mod!

I'm working on creating some tattoo replacers for the Johnny + V tattoo. The first release is Ros + V and So Mi + V, for all the dedicated SongV and Myers x V shippers out there. If you're looking for a fairly innocuous display of your V's OTP, look no further!

I have plans to expand this to the most popular Phantom Liberty characters, including Colonel Hansen, Bennett, Jago, Reed and Alex. Suggestions are welcome.

Now, WIP:

I'm going to be honest, I haven't written shit this week... but that's because I'm working on CyberNoir 1957 and a couple of other photo stories.

CyberNoir 1957

CyberNoir 1957 is Cyberpunk, but with a Noir influence, occuring within the Brother's Shadow timeline. Val, the half-sister of Vincent 'V' Gonzalez, and known to be a member of the Mox, follows Judy's story arc as a 1950s Private Eye. Currently, she's investigating the hive of debauchery known as 'Clouds' in search for Judy Alvarez's 'friend' Evelyn.

Part 3 of CyberNoir will come out by the end of the week.

I Made a Cop AU

Your eyes do not deceive you. I introduce to you Detective Valerie Ocampo-Gonzalez, NCPD.

Testing the NCPD V Equipment mod and I made a theoretical Val, if she decided against joining the Mox and became a Badge instead. Obviously, Judy does not approve and they stop being friends, so Val marries Melanie.

Val also becomes close friends with River Ward and... Harold Han (aka the guy who covered up the assassination of Lucius Rhyne for Weldon Holt). River does not initially trust Val, partly because she had connections to a gang, and partly because Han had warmed up to her so quickly. Eventually, Val works with V (a completely original V, not sure if I want them to be Masc or Fem yet) and River to unveil the truth behind Rhyne's death, and River finally trusts her, resulting in this exchange...

(I genuinely like River, but he's not really Val's type).

The President's Lady

Still plugging away at Chapter 4. I want to develop the relationship between Vega and Myers a little bit before we go back to the Reed POV as he begins his dark descent into treason.

The Presidential AV sat on the White House lawn, the port access door flanked by a pair of Marines in Dress Blues. They saluted as the President approached, having changed into her iconic suit once more. Myers adjusted her Aviators, returning their salute as she boarded the AV. V followed closely behind. Myers held her hand out to V, “Up you get.” V took her hand. One of the Marines flinched slightly, perhaps shocked, perhaps angered. Either way, it was not their place to question the President’s decisions. With all passengers accounted for, one of the Marines boarded, and the other helped seal the hatch, backing away as the green and white Presidential AV lifted off the turf, the wash of its engines blowing grass out of the ground as it lifted up and away.

Hand holding!? Scandalous!

Anyway, that's it for me for now. I'm going to tag: @ouroboros-hideout @streetkid-named-desire @theviridianbunny (feel free to participate if you want, and I apologise if you got double tagged).

On 27th March 1625, King James VI died.

James Charles Stuart has many facts, myths and urban legends surrounding him, this is just one of them.

Rumours have abounded for centuries that James was a homosexual, I'm not saying he wasn't but at very least you might call him bisexual, he did after all father seven children to his wife, only three of whom survived. Known for writing poetry, there is little doubt he loved his wife, Anne, and wrote many poems and love letters to her throughout their marriage. Most of the rumors of James’ sexual orientation came from Sir Anthony Weldon, who was a bitter enemy of the king, whose writings were published long after James was dead.

One of the most amusing quotes from King James regarding marriage and women was when, at the Hampton Court Conference, the Puritan leaders complained of a line in English wedding vows where the groom says to bride “with my body, I thee worship.” James’ response was “If you had a good wife yourself, you would think all worship and honour you could do her, were well bestowed upon her.”

James supposed lover was George Villiers was a courtier who became a favourite of King James I. The King became infatuated with him and made him Viscount in 1616, Earl in 1617, Marquis in 1618 and Duke of Buckingham in 1623. Outmanoeuvring his rivals the Howards, Villiers was appointed Lord High Admiral in 1619. He manipulated the lovestruck King James to gain unprecedented control over royal patronage, rewarding himself and his family generously. He married his relations into the most important families in England. His own marriage was to Lady Catherine Manners, only daughter of the wealthy Earl of Rutland. Was their friendship more than platonic? To coin a Scottish phrase, "

Mibbes aye mibbes naw."

James had a deep and terrible fear of witchcraft and personally oversaw many witch trials while ruling in Scotland. He saw witchcraft as a branch of theology and even wrote a famous treatise titled Daemonologie, in which he dealt with sorcery, magic, and even vampires and werewolves!

James had a relatively peaceful reign, except for the infamous Gunpowder Plot, and kept taxes low. He was known as both the British Solomon and was called “the wisest fool in Christendom” by the King of France. James was both a brute and a gentleman, a sloth and a scholar, a boor and a poet, paranoid and cunning.

Perhaps we should look at his mother's French Emissary Monsieur de Fontenay who had the following to say regarding the young James’ character and traits:

“I have been well received by the king, who has treated me better in reality than in appearance. He give me much credit, but does not show me much kindness. Since the day of my arrival he has ordered me to live in his house along with the earls and lords, and that I shall have access to him in his cabinet just as the others have… .

To tell you truly what I think of him – I consider him the first prince in the world for his age. … . He apprehends and conceives quickly, he judges ripely and with reason, and he retains much and for a long time. In questioning he is quick and piercing, and solid in his answers. … He is learned in many languages, sciences, and affairs of state. more so than probably anyone in his realm. In a word he has a miraculous wit, and moreover is full of noble glory and a good opinion of himself.

Having been brought up in the midst of constant fears, he is timid and will not venture to contradict the great lords; yet he wishes to be thought brave.

He hates dancing and music in general and especially all the mincing affectations of the court … .

From want of proper instruction his manners are boorish and very rough, as well in his way of speaking, eating. dress, amusements and conversation, even in the company of women.

He is never at rest in one place but takes a singular pleasure in walking; but his gait is very ungainly and his step is wandering and unsteady, even in a room. His voice is thick and very deep as he speaks. … He is weak of body … But to sum up, he is an old young man. …

He misunderstands the real extent of his poverty and weakness; he boasts too much of himself and he despises other princes. In the second place, he disregards the wishes of his subjects; and lastly, he is too idle and careless in business and too much addicted to his own pleasures, chiefly hunting. … He told me that he really gave greater attention to business than he seemed to do for he could get through more work in one hour than others could in a day. …"

James ruled Scotland as James VI from 24th July 1567 and, as you might recall from my post a few days ago, ruled in England, Wales and Ireland as James 1st from 24th March, 1603. He died 27th March, 1625 at Theobalds House, and his remains lie in the Henry VII Lady Chapel in Westminster Abbey.

Weldon's Ladies' Journal April 1931

[professorpski]

Piecework Summer 2023

I like to feature the projects with full directions contained in this issue although there are multiple historical and contemporary articles that offer inspiration as well.

The cover project with the dragons in cross-stitch is a linen pin-cushion created by Deanna Hall West based on a 1885 needlework book which had me thinking what we really need is to put some dragons on sweaters.

The 1909 Lady’s Mitts in lilac are a re-working of a pattern from Weldon’s Practical Knitter by Liz Stewart using size 2 needles and Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk a mix of merino and silk. Although they did not have cell phones to play with, they did need their fingers free yet warmed.

The cream colored square with the puffy set of leaves was inspired by the novel Anne of Green Gables, the story of a spunky orphan, and an 1871 book of patterns for knitted counterpanes, or bedspreads. This is such a daunting task that Joyce Noverr who reworked the pattern, suggests you ponder a throw, a pillow, or even a pin cushion instead.

The tiny bird with the black bead for an eye is a first project in bobbin lace created by Karen H. Thompson from DMC Perle Cotton size 8. This accompanies an article by Evelyn McMillan on far more elaborate lace projects which depicted mythical stories, and there is another on applique embroidery upon netting--called Swiss embroidery, for some reason by Karin J. Bohleke.

The cover story on Aran sweaters, the heavily cabled versions we know today, explains how no one wore such a thing in Ireland before the mid-20th century, which makes them what historians call an invented tradition. Invented, in this case, in order to create a mythic story about how old and symbolic the stitch patterns were so as to sell more sweaters! Suffragettes knitting are another topic and so are thimbles, plus there is more.

Weldon's Ladies' Journal, Summer wear, 1911 August Edwardian era

[l0velytammy]

Man today was a day. Emotionally, physically mentally. I woke up with anxiety and feeling extremely tired. So much so, I decided not to work and just sit today out… Then my auntie called asking if I can come across town and take her back to my parents cause she been staying at her best friend’s house as he was living out his last days. So I knew he had passed. She was also asking to pick out some clothes for the funeral out her bags. So I pulled myself out of bed, picked some items out and drove across town. The energy in that house was heavy. The wife looked so lost and out of it. But she lit up alil when she saw me. I’m used to seeing her giving that classic southern hospitality when I would come to visit. But that energy in that home. And her sorrow had her consumed. I helped my auntie gather her things (she’s elderly btw) and I couldn’t help to give Ms Anne a hug and express my condolences. She lit up alil again. I then started to speak to her sister sitting next to her and she was so sweet. As I was walking out I heard my childhood friend (her daughter) crying as she was getting ready for work. I wanted to hug her so bad. But she was upstairs. It’s already hard enough she transport dead ppl for work. Same age. Single mom like myself. Kids same age as mines. Living at home with parents like me. And her father who she was close to like I am to mines passed. When I walked outside it seemed like the energy followed.

Shortly after that, as I turned into a parking lot BAM. A car coming out a spot rammed into the side of my car. My aunt immediately screamed “noooo!!! Oh god!! I knew I should’ve not asked u to come here”. But We was ok. But I couldn’t open the door. The lady looked so frightened in the other car. I was frightened too, being this was my first accident. I took a min to woosha and surprisingly I wasn’t mad. I just wanted to get out and see how bad my door looked. So I climbed out after my aunt got out, it was bad. The lady apologized so many times. I let her know accidents happen and to relax. Her husband was on the way. He was kind as well and her kids came as well. They were kind. They admitted she was at fault and the insurance will take care of it. The car was still drivable it was just my door was jacked. Mirror was still in tact so I just took the insurance info, took pics, and got a phone number. An off duty officer came by and asked were we ok. And we let them know we fine and we explained everything and he was like well if you guys want to handle it yourselves it’s fine. So after many apologies later I headed back home.

Once I got back home I cried. About what? I guess between knowing skoolball passed and getting in an accident right after leaving his home he passed in. My dad comfort me and he was telling me how I was being emotional, but everything will be fine. He told me to take a min, but reminded me how it was almost time to step into mommy mode cause it was almost time to pick up youngest from pre k. I cried alil more then when I finally can pull myself together I drove to the school. I couldn’t wait to see my baby. As she got in the car all the questions flew out her mouth. And finally she calmed down and put her hand on my shoulder and said “mommy…are you ok?”. My Scorpio baby can always pick up on my energy. Shes a pandamic baby. 11/11/2019. I cracked a smile and looked at her and said I’m fine. Everything will be ok. She smiled and started singing Weldon Irvin morning sunrise that was playing.

My oldest came home on the bus from her school alil after we got home. She didn’t even recognize that the car was in an accident until my youngest brought it up. Admittedly she ran outside and looked and said “bruh! What we gonna do!” My little dramatic Leo lol. I let her know everything will be fine. And then my youngest said yes everything is going to be fine. Then she hugged me and said “mommy are you ok”. I assured her I was fine and God will work everything out. I then cooked Mexican rice with cheese sauce and I clocked out. Me and my aunt fell right to sleep as the girls colored in their coloring books. When I woke up from my nap I look at the pics of the accident and I started singing “oh my my. I’m feeling high. my moneys gone, I’m all alone” and started crying. Backstory: I had to resign from my job I loved in October. Been DoorDashing cause it’s been hard to find a job. The man I was feeling we just stopped talking and I been feeling lonely lately cause he was kinda the only friend I had to talk to. I immediately started praying. After I prayed I kept hearing in my head “oh what a day, what a day, what a day” and I couldn’t remember the words after that. Mind you it’s one of my favorite songs. But I couldn’t remember the part after it. So I turned on the song.

“Oh What a day

What a day, what a day

Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned”

Man I hear u God. And if u read all this, u a real one. Thank you.

The right side of numbers can be seen as August 91:

1991 Soviet coup attempt, (August 19–21, 1991), attempt by Communist hard-liners to seize control of the Soviet Union by holding Pres. Mikhail Gorbachev captive. The plotters had little support among the broader political and military establishment, however, and the coup collapsed in a matter of days. The coup attempt fatally undermined Gorbachev’s political standing and accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Barbara “Lady Love” Mason (August 9, 1947) is a popular singer/songwriter and one of the true pioneers of Philly Soul, as she entered the music scene as a teenager. She was born in Philadelphia to a homemaker mother and a father who worked for the Philadelphia Water Department.

At the age of 12, she was the lead singer in groups she formed after winning local talent shows. She lived next door to Bill Oxendine, a member of the Larks who in turn introduced her to Weldon Arthur McDougal III, a record label executive. McDougal introduced her to Jimmy Bishop, a local DJ, and founder of Arctic Records. Bishop signed and released her debut single “Trouble Child” before she was 15.

In 1964, she released “Come to Me/Girls Have Feelings Too” which was a moderate success. In 1965, she recorded “Yes I’m Ready” which became her first hit, peaking at #2 on the Billboard R&B chart, #3 on the US Cash Box Top 100, and #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It ranked at #12 on the Canadian Top Singles chart.

“Sad, Sad Girl,” peaked at #12 on the Billboard chart, followed by “I Need Love” which peaked at #5. Her 1968 hit “Oh, How It Hurts” peaked at #11 on the Billboard chart. She released “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head/If You Knew Him Like I Do,” which peaked at #38 on the Billboard pop chart.

She released “Bed and Board,” which peaked at #24 on the Billboard chart, followed by “Give Me Your Love” which peaked at #9, and “Child of Tomorrow” which peaked at #79 on the Billboard R&B chart. Her two releases, “From His Woman to You” and “Shackin’ Up” peaked at #3 and #9 respectively on the Billboard R&B chart. “I Am Your Woman, She is Your Wife” peaked at #14.

She released two singles: “I Never Love the Same Way Twice” and “She’s Got Papers, But I Got the Man.” She formed her publishing company.

She was invited to sing at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. She began to do periodic performances. She released “Feeling Blue” and “The Soft Touch.”

She was still performing to sold-out audiences in 2016, she was part of a “Legends of Soul” concert, and in 2018 she headlined a “Forever Oldies Tour”. She was inducted into the Soul Music Hall of Fame. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
