Book haul at HPB

First, here's a pic of everything.

Here, you can see each of the P. G. Wodehouse titles I got. Never bought Jeeves and Wooster books before, but this should be a great read. The BBC series was hilarious, what I recall seeing when I was a kid. Always adored Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry; in fact, I already have books written by them, too. Also got a couple Jane Austen titles and a Fyodor Dostoevsky that are part of a special edition series.

Then I got a bunch of books in this gorgeous special edition collection by Chiltern Publishing. I already had Jane Eyre and a couple other titles in this series, so I hope I don't have any extra copies of anything. I don't think so, but I'll have to unbox my books to find out for sure. I'm a bit worried that I might already have a copy of Wuthering Heights....

And then these books that are more random. I already had books 1 and 2 of Parasyte, so now I also have book 3. Then I already had Baking Yesteryear by B. Dylan Hollis, but this is a signed copy! The Philip Pullman book is a collection of his essays about the writing process. The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce is considered by some to be one of the 100 greatest masterpieces of American literature. And then Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the one book I actually went there for. 😅 Too bad they didn't have a pretty copy, but that's ok. Maybe Chiltern will release one later. 🤔

ON THIS DAY - 13 November 1553

On This Day (13 Nov) in 1553, a trial was held at in the Great Hall, in the City of London Guildhall; the trial of Lady Jane Grey, her husband Guildford Dudley, his brothers Ambrose and Henry ('Harry') Dudley, and Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury - all of whom had been accused of high treason for their roles in attempting to place Jane on the throne in Jul 1553.

Jane Grey had not left the Tower of London since initially arriving in triumph on 10 Jul; however since her arrest on 19 Jul she had been held in the house of the Gentleman Gaoler Nathaniel Partridge, on Tower Green, whilst her husband and his 4 brothers had been held in less comfortable surroundings within the Beauchamp Tower.

The quartet were accompanied by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury. Having held the position for over 20 years, Cranmer had played a leading role in the annulment of Henry VIII's first marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the 'break' from Rome and the instigation of subsequent religious reform, known as the 'English Reformation'. Subsequently, on the succession of Catherine's daughter Mary, he was removed from his office and arrested.

On this November morning, the group were marched the mile through the streets from the Tower of London on foot, escorted by the Constable of the Tower, Sir John Gage. An axe was carried infront of them, turned away to symbolise they had not yet been condemned. Cranmer led the group, followed by Guildford, then Jane, dressed all in black, accompanied by two gentlewoman, with Ambrose and Harry at the rear.

The trial was preceded over by the Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, with all judges having Catholic sympathies. They heard how ‘Jane Dudley, wife of the same Guildford Dudley’ attempted to 'deprive' and 'destroy' Mary, and how and by entering the Tower of London on 10 Jul took possession "falsely and treacherously...forcibly held it". Evidence of Jane's treason was provided by her signing 'Jane the Quene'.

The trial heard from witnesses how Cranmer had encouraged heresy and had written heretical works, in addition to supporting the claim of Jane Grey, including helping seize control of the Tower of London. Initially denying any claims, Cranmer later pleaded 'guilty as charged'.

All others pleaded guilty to the charges put to them, admitting their actions earlier that summer; Jane in particular admitted to these, although stated that she felt that she had been 'manipulated' by others into accepting the crown against her judgement, and requested to be pardoned.

All were found guilty of high treason and sentenced to death; the men were given their sentences of hanged, drawn, quartered and decapitated, and for Jane, she would be taken to Tower Hill and burnt to death or beheaded, at the pleasure of the queen. Following the conclusion of the trial, the group were marched back to the Tower of London, the axe now turned towards them, the sign that they were all condemned prisoners.

[charleslee-valentine]

I wanna talk about this scene.

A head kiss is *so* significant as a choice. Obviously he can’t kiss her lips unless he wants to have his face superglued to hers, but to waste time getting upstairs to have kissed her at all is sorta what I get caught on. There’s got to be *something* going through his head to make that decision over damage control.

We know the abuse of these women, tying them up in a medical chair, is because of what he went through in his childhood. The duct tape bindings in his high chair, the experimental surgical procedures from his father, the neglect; it’s all mirrored in the leather straps, the chair itself and the identical one up at the house. But we also know Bo, despite probably killing at least Victor, has undying devotion to his mother and her legacy. Trudy slaps her child no older than three across his face without hesitation. What affection might look like or have once looked like in the Sinclair house is curious.

The forehead kiss, in the context of the abuse, can read of both possessiveness and distance. Something like staking a claim, less intimate and affectionate than, say, one on the cheek. A heavily controlled sort of relationship. But back to actual affection.

With the Sinclairs, it’s very skewed what that might be like. When Vincent and Bo interact on screen for the first time, Bo is critically injured and angry. He snaps at his brother, but his remorse is immediate and he uses words as a form of affection. Promises as apologies. Almost like begging, a kind of worship on its own.

Which itself ties into his relationship with their mother too.

Trudy is kept down at the church, having her perpetual funeral service. Bo is seen on screen for the very first time kneeling at her coffin in a probable prayer. But that kind of devotion I think is the Sinclair way of affection. As in religion, which has a recurring symbolism in House of Wax, and as such in the characters lives. Prayer drawing parallels to love isn’t surprising.

Something interesting is that in numerous religions, head kisses can be the passing on of a blessing. Bo forces Carly into the same bindings he suffered in for years, but he grants her a blessing before he leaves her there. It doesn’t seem affectionate at first, if anything it’s just kind of condescending, but knowing how Bo works is what makes it much more interesting.

The question is why?

Bo consoles Vincent after he hurts his feelings by talking about their mother’s blessing and legacy. All of Ambrose is a gift from a woman who treated them horribly, and they accept it. The killings are literally for her. In that way, I think Bo is apologizing. He’s inflicting on this woman something that destroyed his life, and he isn't some zombified, all magical slasher; he’s still very much a human being who feels pain and emotions. A lot more emotions than either of his brothers seem to show on screen, actually.

His role as the leader -or the preacher of this church they’ve built, hence why he finds Carly hiding under the robes in the church- isn’t without remorse. It’s do what’s got to be done. Which started with his parents. Victor says in the cold open, “I’m doing the best I can,” while wrestling a toddler. They call little Bo the monster while they’re actively hurting him. These excuses are pre-programmed into his complex.

In regard to further biblical imagery and the Sinclair parents, is the theater. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? plays nonstop, with the specific scene with Carly being hunted in the theater taking place during Jane’s song. The first two lines of that say, “I’ve written a letter to daddy, His address is Heaven above.” There’s this idea of communicating with a dead parent again, just like Bo speaking out loud to Trudy’s corpse, but now it’s outwardly tying it in with religious beliefs. If Bo is the preacher, he’s simply passing along the holy message instilled in him by his parents above. Bo *is* Baby Jane in that way, but not for the most obvious reason. While yes, he is harsh to his brother, as Baby Jane treated her sister Blanche badly, there’s also the fact that he’s a washed up, desperate, abused child who craves love and validation and normalcy again. Using his communication with the divine up in Heaven above to spread a blessing is a way of getting approval. With a detached kiss to Carly, his crimes are the gospel.

A consistent theme here is not only his relationship with being abused, but also with Vincent. Biblically, conjoined twins are considered a mistake of nature. God creates two human souls, but it is the fault of nature that their bodies combine. However, because of the risks, it is also considered mostly immoral in the church to separate them if one or both will have their lives risked. For the Sinclair twins, their father did this surgery himself, at home, which is obviously wildly illegal and dangerous. That makes him a sinner and an obstacle to a perfect Ambrose, on top of being an abusive asshole. So he’s killed, implied to be shot by Bo directly. That bullet was his punishment as much as the highchair was Bo’s punishment. Vincent may not have gotten the highchair, but he does have the marks on his face to show for what Victor chose. The surgery, the sin of going against the new plan, left Vincent scarred and missing not just tissue but parts of the bones in his face. Having to wear the masks and being disallowed from leaving Ambrose is his punishment for Victor’s moral crime. God took from them both unfairly and I think, despite his devotion, Bo doesn’t quite believe in the faith fully because of that.

Again, he’s human. He has his doubts and fears. His reassurance to Vincent in the form of “Ma would be proud” goes for himself too. And his subsequent “She always said that your talent would make up for what God took away from you.” Vincent doesn’t need convincing though, he needs an apology. That’s what Bo’s speech about Trudy is, is an apology, but that doubles for both him and Vincent. And the head kiss too. Because again, he’s operating on what he’s supposed to do. It’s a routine.

At that point, I think Bo doesn’t get satisfaction from fulfilling God’s (ahem, Trudy’s) plan anymore. Carly, and by extension every other girl who was down in that cellar at one point or another, is a sacrifice to it. She’s duct taped in that chair because someone has to be suffering in order for the Sinclairs to thrive. That’s the way it’s been before. Someone has to be hurting to need God’s grace so badly as to keep up what they’re doing, rather than just forgetting Ambrose. But what makes me think Bo specifically has stopped deriving anything positive from that order, is that he also tells Vincent “We almost finished what Mama started.” Based on the number of empty seats in the theater alone, they could theoretically kill a lot more than just the six kids that night. Why stop there? Because of the sacrificial lamb down in his cellar. I think Bo thinks that his actions will trigger be some fateful event that’ll free them all of Ambrose. Some great flood or some such. And when it doesn’t come for an entire decade after Trudy’s death, I think his desperation is growing more and more over those ten years to where his faith is now slipping. Back around to the head kiss, the silent promises he makes to Carly is to reassure himself that she’ll be special and it’ll end with her.

Choosing Carly specifically, could come from a biblical Madonna-Whore complex. Bo saw the whole group the night before, only two of which were girls obviously. Between them, Paige is pregnant. The Bible states directly that she should be burned for that (as she is out of wedlock.) Ambrose is, to him, a Holy place, but bringing Paige in and keeping her alive, no matter for how short a time, would technically be making the entire land impure. So Carly it was. I do think he has an attraction to her, since whoever has the video camera that night takes special care to record her lips, and then he makes a comment about them after supergluing them. It’s just the fact he could’ve kissed her at any point before the glue came out, and chose not to. Just that little head kiss. Because as much as he’s preached, he has to resist temptation himself or it’s all for naught. Does that mean I think he doesn’t assault any of the women? No, absolutely not. There’s a sex swing in that cellar. It’s just a matter of repenting. The first time we ever see Bo’s face, he’s on his knees in the church. Out of all the empty buildings in Ambrose he chose to go pray at church before the group showed up. He knows what he’s gonna do and knows he shouldn’t. Hence the other meaning of the kiss again, the apologetic side combined with the resistance.

Bo is such a deeply, deeply complex character. He went through so much only to turn around and inflict so much. Going back to their father’s choice to do the surgery on his own, the impacts of having a whole person removed from the back of Bo’s head is so unknown.

From the way they were conjoined, their skulls may have very well been attached. Seeing as Vincent has impacts to the development of his brow bone, cheek bone, lower jaw, and nasal bridge, those bones would have to go somewhere, and the realistic answer is that they would’ve been fused to Bo, or at least the parts of those would’ve been there. All in the back of Bo’s head, directly against his skull. To me, it’s incredibly, incredibly unlikely that no impacts would’ve been made on Bo’s brain development. How much of his violent impulses are even his own, and how much comes from a traumatic brain injury, inflicted by their father himself. Certainly blaming that baby for being a monster, when it’s a consequence of his own behavior, seems about fitting with the rest of the manipulation processes that go on in that family. Which Bo had to learn from somewhere. Trudy was likely his biggest abuser, but I think Bo modeled a lot of himself, unconsciously, after their father. Killing him was just taking on that role, and the religious filtering of it all, is Bo’s way of processing that. The father, the son, and mama’s Holy Spirit.

⋆·˚-༘ Meet Marie!

Name: Marie Jane Chatman

Birthday: May 22nd 1875

Zodiac Sign: Gemini

House: Ravenclaw

Patronus: Otter

Animagus: Stag

Wand: Laurel wood, 10", rigid, phoenix feather

Blood Status: Muggleborn

Orientation: Unlabeled

Quidditch: Seeker

Marie is gentle, curious about the world around her, and exhibits the Ravenclaw typical thirst for knowledge, as well as a knack for problem solving. She is a very literal thinker, and can often respond to situations with less empathy than desired, leading to lots of misunderstandings. Though a bit naïve about the wizarding world due to her muggleborn status, she is eager to pursue all ventures of knowledge. She does her best to fit in by dressing the part of a well kempt witch, but her strange vibe and big doe eyes make it a little hard to be taken seriously as her peers.

Of Merlin's direct bloodline, Marie sports an immense aptitude for magic, particularly her ability to wield ancient magic. Though in of itself, this ancient artform hardly listens. It sports a more parasitic nature, and she has little control over it when her emotional state is tampered with.

Despite the happenings of Hogwarts and the looming threats occurring during her fifth year, arguably one of Marie's biggest challenges is overcoming one Amara Ambrose, who's hellbent for whatever reason on making her life a living hell. These two rivals become obsessed with one another, for better or for worse.

MARGARET AUDLEY, DUCHESS OF NORFOLK: ANOTHER DUDLEY WOMAN

Introducing Margaret Audley, Duchess of Norfolk, wife of Lord Henry Dudley, (known throughout his short life as 'Harry Dudley').

Margaret was born in 1540, the eldest daughter of Thomas Audley, the Lord High Chancellor of England during the reign of Henry VIII, and his second wife, Lady Elizabeth Grey, the elder sister of Henry Grey, 3rd Marquess of Dorset (later the 1st Duke of Suffolk).

Margaret became a ward of Edward VI in 1549, following the death of Sir Anthony Denny, to whom her wardship had been given following her father's death in 1544. Given John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland's position within the regency council, as Lord President, towards the end of his reign, it is likely that aged around 13, she was married to Dudley's youngest surviving son, Harry, in late Spring/early Summer 1553. There were a round of weddings and betrothals at this time, including Margaret's cousin Jane Grey to Harry's elder brother Guildford Dudley, in attempts to secure political alliances in preparation for an inevitable upcoming regime change. Margaret was also a wealthy heiress, due to inherit many of her late father's properties in Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire and Essex, including Walden Abbey, which would also be an attractive prospect for the Dudley family, eager to expand their power.

Harry, along with his elder brothers, was imprisoned in the Tower of London following the failed coup to place Margaret's cousin Lady Jane Grey on the English throne in Jul 1553, and in Nov 1553 was found guilty of high treason and sentenced to death. However, he escaped the fate of his older brother Guildford and his young wife, and with brothers John, Ambrose and Robert was released from the Tower in Oct 1553. Having been pardoned by Mary I, Harry subsequently died at the Siege of Saint-Quentin, France in Aug 1557, aged "20 and a half years" (according to his portrait).

The following year, Margaret was betrothed to Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk; however, there were delays in the marriage, due to the need to obtain papal dispensation (Norfolk's previous wife was a cousin of Margaret's). However, following the death of Mary, the accession of Elizabeth I and the abandonment of Catholicism in England, the marriage went ahead in late Nov/early Dec 1558. The new Duchess of Norfolk had a role in the coronation of Elizabeth the following month.

Margaret died in Norwich in Jan 1564, a few weeks following the birth of her youngest child; she had left Walden Abbey, and was said to be making her way back to London, reportedly eager to be reunited with her husband, when her health began to fail, and she succumbed to her illness.

Margaret's eldest son, Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, later inherited Walden Abbey, embarked on a major building project, demolishing the older extended house, and constructing an impressive Jacobean house, renamed as 'Audley End', reportedly costing £200,000. He would later be imprisoned in the Tower of London on charges of embezzlement, and would die at Audley End in debt and disgrace.

Her widower, the Duke of Norfolk, would be executed in 1571 at the Tower of London after being convicted of high treason, for his role in the 'Ridolfi Plot' - a Catholic Conspiracy to remove Elizabeth from the English throne, and replace her with the Scottish Catholic queen, Mary Queen of Scots.
