Letter from KING GEORGE VI to his physician, DANIEL DAVIES. The King wrote from Sandringham, three months after his lung operation:

December 27th 1951

Dear Davies,

I must write & try to thank you for all your help to me in my long illness. I fear I have caused you many days of worry during the last few months. But since the seat of infection has been removed I do feel that I can regain my health again & the few days here have done me good. I have used a gun with no ill effects & medium accuracy. Miss Linton’s exercises and massage have been invaluable.

With renewed thanks to you & with all good wishes for 1952

I am

yours very sincerely

George R.

Article on the ‘Miss Linton’ the King mentions in his letter:

HELPING THE KING

Every day Miss Winifred Linton goes from Weymouth Street, London, to Buckingham Palace. She helps the King with his breathing exercises.

In theory anyone should be able to breathe by moving only one side of the chest. Miss Linton’s exercises enable the King to do this.

She is a physiotherapist who has worked for many years with leading doctors, including Mr. Price Thomas, the King’s surgeon, and Mr. Geoffrey Marshall. It was Mr. Price Thomas who called her in to help the King.

A shy, grey-haired woman, she was a member of Queen Alexandra Nursing Service in World War One.

[tragedycoded]

Everything under the cut, I thought about just transcribing in my notebook without posting.

But I've been more distracted than usual, and I think it's a good illustration of what the inside of my fucking brain sounds like rn.

So here is 3,000+ words of me talking to myself about DMLS 2, in particular the subplot involving Reeves, as recompense for my being quieter than usual. I love all of you, but a reset is coming up and I need to not completely FUCK UP WHAT I'M WRITING.

Heavy spoilers, no promise anything makes sense, etc.

Let's talk about The German House, why Gott is the character whose wants matter in this chapter, why Reeves shooting Royston needs to happen, and why Royston continues to be a piece of shit.

Who the Fuck is Elodie Reeves

Reeves is a bounty hunter; I have her referred to as a deputy, but that's because she's a contractor, basically. The first female U.S. Deputy Marshal wasn't sworn in until twenty years after DMLS.

Re: The U.S. Marshals and Sullivan

The marshals were already out to Fort Sarras in the spring of 1873 to bust Sullivan's balls about the train derailment (September 1872; why he went into The Pig & Whistle on a Thursday afternoon) and were waiting at the Catena (Columbia, MO analogue) station on June 30th bc they had intel that said the Hustons were going to rob/hijack/somehow board that train after it left the Sarras City station.

[Cut: about a thousand words of rambling about Royston's backstory.]

Marshals found a train full of dead bandits, went "Well, who the fuck killed them?" and started a separate investigation immediately. While Royston was with Sullivan.

Everyone in town is like "Who the fuck do you think it was?" It's a pretty open and shut case. But they can't find Royston in town, and Gott lies to them. Said he was headed east and wouldn't tell her where. Gott is a real one.

Re: The U.S. Marshals and Royston

So Thomas Huston (railroad magnate from Georgia) wants Royston dead, being as he killed all four of his sons + his daughter-in-law. Marshals literally just turned around. They aren't coming back. Huston decides to call in every favor he has to get a bounty hunter sent after him. Thinking his hiring a bounty hunter would excuse him from culpability in what I'm about to say ("Why would I hire hitmen when there's a bounty hunter coming to execute an arrest warrant?") he... yeah. Hires a bunch of hitmen.

Reeves is coming from St. Louis at Sheriff Mason's request--Mason is calling her in at Huston's request. That happened before the gang was aware of how bad Huston had his hooks in Mason.

They figured Huston was going to ask Mason to call in the marshals on Royston. And since the marshals already came and went, they'd have to be worried about bounty hunters. Which they are. IDK if I've made that clear enough. But they don't receive evidence of that happening until after the shootout, which by then Reeves is already on her way out. There's no avoiding the scenario I'm discussing, like it has to happen. Not everything is something they can see coming or adjust for, and every time Royston and Sullivan divine the future, they run the risk of something else changing.

What Does This Have To Do With Anything

Re: Reeves

Reeves is going to be a powerful ally, and she's going to be very helpful in stopping Powell, but right now she's an antagonist w/r/t Royston.

She and Gott are intimately familiar with each other (she stops at The German House every time she's in the territory) but she isn't like "Hey lover I'm coming into town you wouldn't happen to have a piece of shit named Arthur Royston staying at your establishment, right? Because that'd make my job easier."

In the version of the chapter I have written, Reeves shows up unannounced like she always does, and she and Royston have a mediated confrontation in the kitchen with Gott present, everyone is up front and honest about their reasons for being in the kitchen, and it FUCKING SUCKS.

Why the Current Version Sucks: or, Melanie Gott Doesn't Deserve This Shit

First of all, it's not the best version of the scene. In order to support Reeves failing to successfully arrest Royston, both of them need to be lying about their knowledge of the situation when Gott's present. Reeves can't let on that she's got a bounty on Royston and Royston can't let on that he even knows who Reeves is.

Royston used to be a bounty hunter, so they've 100% crossed paths before.

Second of all, because she doesn't know Reeves is there to arrest Royston, Gott can't loop Reeves into what's happening in town. She's trying to negotiate "Alright, Royston is being weird to Reeves, I need to split them up immediately." It isn't until after they reset that she realizes who Reeves is in town to arrest.

I think I can make a pretty necessary point about Royston's sacrifice having lasting consequences by having Reeves need to shoot him when he won't allow her to quietly arrest him. He has 30+ years of muscle memory telling him to either flee or fling knives when he's threatened with arrest. And I don't think he's let himself get in a position where he's almost been arrested since he was a kid. He goads people into attacking him so he can pull the self-defense card, it's obnoxious.

The German House is supposed to be a haven for criminals in Sarras City, and I'm putting Gott in a real shitty spot by not letting her be around to stop Reeves attempting to arrest Royston. Like, she can't be physically present.

If she is there, then she could just as easily deescalate the situation. That's her lover vs. her friend. She's already watched him die once. She doesn't want him to get shot in the head again.

So How Are Gott and Royston Going to Avoid This

Gott needs to tell Reeves what's going on in town the second she arrives at The German House. It doesn't in the chapter I have written because she doesn't realize it's going to escalate to that point.

Why is a Reset Necessary?

Resetting saves them sleuthing time, gets Mason on their side faster, and means Royston and Reeves are cooperating. Sullivan will have all of the information he wasn't able to physically gather himself when Mason comes up to talk to him--I haven't even mentioned Sullivan, but yeah, Royston dying and triggering a reset does him a huge solid here LOL that's fucked up.

Besides that, it's in Reeves' best interests to arrest Huston rather than try to arrest Royston. They'll be able to locate and apprehend Huston before he can regroup and try to kill Royston again. This is setting up for the climax.

I do need to be super careful when I'm writing certain post-reset chapters--Hofer can't let himself get pissed off that Royston died and they have to do the last several days over again, for example, but this actually works out for Hofer, because he was kind of a dick to Clara the first time. Now he gets a do over. This is going to have longer-reaching effects than just "OK REWIND."

OK Good For Me Back To Gott

Once they reset, Gott is aware (because they have an entire day between the shootout and when Reeves arrives and Royston is going to be honest about what triggered the reset if he doesn't want Hofer to beat his ass) that she has to be very obviously in Royston's corner while also letting Reeves know what the fuck is happening in this shitty fucking town so she doesn't try to arrest Royston.

She's also going to have to further explain the magnitude of the problem they're confronting in Book 3 ("Some fucking anthropology professor wants to summon a god-spirit that will basically flood the earth with spirits and monsters and all this other Apocalyptic Shit") without sounding like a total fucking lunatic.

Why Did I Feel the Need To Write a Disjointed Essay About This

I need to negotiate the pre-loop dynamic carefully.

It's important to Reeves not to violate Gott's "Don't bring violence into my house" rule, which is like, one of Gott's few rules, the other one being "No snitching." The fact that Reeves is even allowed in the house tells Royston they're in a romantic relationship, and--

OK here's where I can show you what I mean when I say Royston is a psychopath. It is demonstrably beneficial for Royston to have a place in town where he can sleep knowing the person there isn't going to narc on him--she can't be paid off by local criminals or hitmen, and anyone who attempts to assassinate him while he's there will be out on their ass, meaning he can easily pick them off later. The fact that Gott remembers everything that's happened and is willing to help him overcome his illiteracy to send letters to Sullivan is incredibly useful to him. He feels nothing when he thinks about Gott. He isn't grateful. He doesn't value her as a person beyond what she's able to do for him. It would be the same if she was a man. All he sees is "Gott"; during the shootout, his lizard brain upgrades her to "mine" for the purposes of not letting the goons get to her. (And because he is attached to her, whether or not there's any emotionality involved.) Other than busting her balls about her sex life and encouraging her to be a degenerate, Royston does not give a single fuck about helping her with her own personal goals. They both know as little as possible about each others' pasts--but he uses autobiographical information to make people uncomfortable, so Gott knows more about him than he does about her. At no point does Royston think of Gott as a friend, even though he's literally killed people for threatening her, and runs errands/does chores for her when her being busy is a source of annoyance for him. Like if he's bored and she has a ton of work to do.

Because I Realized This is the Spot to Remind the Reader Royston is a Piece of Shit

The only reason not violating the "no violence" inside rule even sticks between Royston's ears is because it directly benefits him. It's like rules at a card table. He gets real pissy if you break the rules when he's dealing, and he starts fights with people who cheat when he's gambling bc it's like Hey, I'm following the rules and I hate rules, fuck you, man! Very mature.

He won't attack Reeves first because he's following the rules. Reeves has to either talk him into getting arrested, which Royston would rather die, or she has to be the one to escalate to the point where a gun's drawn. Since she doesn't know about "the greater scheme of things" atp, she has no motivation to NOT kill Royston. She hasn't even heard Sullivan's name or met him yet. And he can stab her faster than she can draw, so if she's going to kill him, she has to be far enough away and quick enough drawing. It could be a scenario where he stabs her and she shoots him, which would lead to both of them having amnesia at the start of the reset and Gott's actions being the ones that ultimately help get them out of a death loop.

Either way it's a They Both Suck situation unless it happens outside, and it needs to happen outside for Gott's emotional health, so they need to both be fucking gentlemen (gender neutral) about the situation, which is inevitable.

I'm making a point about free will or smth IDK. Royston accepts that he simultaneously is a major mover in cosmic events and also doesn't mean shit because he's only going to live another 50 years and then that's it, there's nothing after that.

Just kidding. Sullivan and Royston forever. I'll just reincarnate them in a different decade and another stupid "soldier meets outlaw" meet cute, it's what they both secretly want.

Comparison of Character Motivations in This Subplot

Gott: Feels sorry for Royston, has a strong platonic bond with Royston, loves Reeves. Reeves: Respects Gott, loves Gott, wants to do right by Gott, tries to follow her rules out of love and respect; has a job to do. Royston: "Gott will kick me out if I start shit inside. Better tolerate Reeves."

Conclusion

Gott, you aren't getting paid enough. I'll make sure the insurance claim is enough to get the fuck out of Kansas with, and that Reeves and Royston's behavior triggers the reset in a way that respects (such as it is) you and your autonomy as a person.

🔎 YA Under the Radar 7 🔍

I have been working on this list in the series all year 😂 it just took me that long to read a decent amount of underrated YA - but I got there in the end and I'm pretty happy with the recs on this list 🥰

there are rainbow flags next to LGBT+ rep, wheelchair symbols next to disability rep and koalas next to Australia YA simply because there's a lot of that on this particular list

so take a gander and maybe consider picking up a title or two (or ten) in 2024 to support lesser-known authors and books 😊

Vice Presidential Profiles: Thomas Riley Marshall (VP #28)

Random Facts About Vice President Marshall: •On August 27, 1858, 4-year-old Thomas Riley Marshall accompanied his father, Daniel, to Freeport, Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas were engaging in the second of seven debates which would go down in history as the epic "Lincoln-Douglas Debates". Little "Tommy" was too young to understand what was going on, but he had the best seat in the house. When Lincoln spoke, Tommy Marshall sat on the lap of Senator Douglas. When Douglas spoke, Marshall sat on the lap of Abraham Lincoln. •While Marshall attended college, he wrote an article for the school newspaper about a visiting female speaker who gave a lecture on campus at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The woman felt Marshall had crossed the line and sued the future Vice President for libel in 1872. Each side lawyered up with notable legal representation. The plaintiff hired Lew Wallace, who was a Union General during the Civil War, later became Governor of the New Mexico Territory, and is best-known today as the author of Ben-Hur. Marshall found himself a lawyer in Indianapolis that was also a former Union General during the Civil War and who would later surpass even Wallace's political accomplishments. Marshall's lawyer was able to make it clear to the plaintiff that Marshall's comments might have been in poor taste, but they were likely true, and the case was dropped. Marshall's attorney was future President Benjamin Harrison. •After beginning his own law career, Marshall fell in love with a young woman named Kate Hooper, but she died shortly after they were engaged to be married. Marshall was devastated by her death and began drinking heavily. Alcoholism took a toll on Marshall's health, career, and reputation until he finally married Lois Kimsey in 1895. Lois helped Marshall quit drinking, which gave him the focus to begin his political career. He didn't win his first political election until he was 54 years old.

•In 1909, Marshall -- as Governor of Indiana -- installed the final brick to complete the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the site of the Indianapolis 500. •Marshall was not Woodrow Wilson's first choice as his Vice President in 1912. In fact, Marshall wasn't Wilson's choice as a running mate at all. Wilson had wanted the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Oscar Underwood of Alabama, to join him on the ticket, but Underwood declined the offer. The delegates of the Democratic National Convention decided upon Marshall, and Wilson was not pleased with the choice. He thought Marshall was a "small-calibre man". •Despite his original doubts, Wilson stuck with Marshall in 1916 when many of the President's closest aides suggested dumping the VP in favor of another running mate. With their victory that year, Marshall became the first Vice President since John C. Calhoun in 1828 to be re-elected to another term. •Thomas Riley Marshall is largely remembered because of his many humorous quotes poking fun at the insignificance of the Vice Presidency. When he was nominated as VP, Marshall pointed out that it made sense since he was a native of Indiana, "the mother of Vice Presidents, the home of more second-class men than any other state." A favorite Marshall story was one about a man who had two sons: "One went away to sea...the other was elected Vice President...he never heard from either one afterward." •Other popular Marshall quotes: -"I don't want to work [after retiring], but I wouldn't mind being Vice President again." -"If you look on me as a wild animal, be kind enough to throw peanuts at me." (To a group touring the Capitol) -"What this country needs is a good five-cent cigar." •Despite Marshall's humor and frivolity, there was a serious Constitutional crisis near the end of Woodrow Wilson's Presidency. Wilson suffered a massive stroke in 1919 that virtually incapacitated him and kept him from fully discharging the duties of his office. For the last 18 months of of Wilson's Presidency, Wilson's wife and a handful of close aides carefully managed the Administration, keeping the truth about Wilson's health hidden. Today, a President in Wilson's condition would almost certainly need to hand the office over to the officer next in the line of succession, either temporarily or permanently. But the 25th Amendment did not exist during Wilson's time, and a group of Wilson confidants conspired to keep the truth from the rest of Wilson's Administration, including Vice President Marshall. Marshall didn't push to find out the extent of Wilson's illness; if he had, Wilson likely would have been forced to resign and Marshall would have become President. Most of the people close to President Wilson believed it would be disastrous to pass the reigns of government on to Vice President Marshall. But considering the track record of the Wilson Administration at the end of his Presidency, many historians believe that "President Marshall" could have helped get the Treaty of Versailles ratified and shepherd the United States into joining the League of Nations.

a lot of what i do is senseless tbh. As another famed second-rate man (aka, vice president) Thomas R. Marshall once put it: "If you look on me as a wild animal, be kind enough to throw peanuts at me."
