Saltburn is Wuthering Heights

Oliver= Heathcliff

Felix= Catherine

Venetia= Isabella

Farleigh= Hindley AND the younger generation who survive to the end of the book like Hareton.

The grave scene! Oliver is Heathcliff. I just don't understand why no one else has pointed this out.

MWW Artwork of the Day (3/3/23) Mabel Pryde Nicholson (British, 1871–1918) The Grange, Rottingdean (1911) Oil on canvas, 91.5 x 72.5 cm. National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh

Pryde grew up in the centre of Edinburgh’s artistic, literary and theatrical circles.  This painting depicts Pryde's children Nancy (1899-1977) and Kit (1904-1948), who grew up to be a designer and an architect. Nancy is shown seated and in profile, whilst Kit is seen through a door, wearing a Glengarry cap and standing in the black-and-white tiled hall. Behind him a door opens on to the dining room. The complex composition, at once interior and double-portrait, is lit from several sources. Shadow and reflection play a part in creating an atmosphere of contemplation and anticipation. Pryde frequently painted her four children and insisted on paying them a small fee to model.

“Should the weather be favourable, I wish to go to Nevis, your road to the River will always remain the same and as your farmer may find time to put the side of the road next the fence in order so as to have early planting to ornament it, this Hobby of yours I feel desirous of cherishing more than love, my Alexander must make drawings of every thing that may qualify the House and ground.”

(source — Elizabeth Hamilton to James Alexander Hamilton, [April 12, 1869])

Hamilton built his family and himself a house located in upper Manhattan, in 1802. Hamilton named the estate The Grange, after his grandfather's own holdings in Scotland. It was a two-story frame in a Federal style house. The drawings Elizabeth refers to are here.

The Hamilton Grange, c. 1872

Similarly, in which Elizabeth is referring to in the letter; James A. Hamilton built his family and himself a house at Irvington, New York, in 1835. He named it Nevis, after the birthplace of his father. The original house was square, in the style of a Greek temple. In 1851, he added a south wing. And later in 1884, Alexander Hamilton - James's son - added a north wing to the house to balance out.

Nevis estate, c. 1850

The parallels are exceedingly clear, and it's reasonable to assess that James was trying to replicate his father's dream. Additionally, Hamilton also called the Grange his “Hobby”;

“Wife Children and hobby are the only things upon which I have permitted my thoughts to run. As often as I write, you may expect to hear something about the latter.

Don’t lose any opportunity which may offer of ploughing up the new garden spot and let the waggon make a tour of the ground lately purchased3 to collect the dung upon it to be scattered over that spot.”

(source — Alexander Hamilton to Elizabeth Hamilton, [1803])

“It is a sacrilege, a crime, a villainy to hold that such a marriage is binding. I say that these monstrous laws of yours will bring a curse upon the land—Heaven will not let such wickedness endure.”

Tbh I don’t think Arthur Conan Doyle gets enough credit for featuring domestic abuse survivors in his works, to the point of overlooking or justifying murder, in a time when it was seen as a Private Matter that outsiders shouldn’t be nosey about. Giving voice to a woman to call out the lack of a woman’s rights to be freed from an abusive marriage is a pretty big deal, and Holmes validating and supporting it each and every time is a purposeful authorial choice.

Others have posted about how it’s very likely that, as a doctor, ACD would be privy to all sorts of ugly secrets from “those isolated country manors” as described in The Copper Beeches—but even if he weren’t, there’s certainly a statement being made via his stories.

He looks so uncomfortable 🥺

But some truly remarkable acting from Jeremy here. Holmes isn't used to receiving gratitude in such an intimate way, not even wanting to touch her hand for very long. It's almost as though we see Holmes try to calibrate what he should do in real time, his arm going around to hold her but stopping himself. We see him pry her off gently, and he then realises he's holding this young lady's hand. So he proceeds to flick it away. With a mute apology, he distances himself from her, preferring to stand at the window and have his back to his guests. It all happens very quickly.

I'm not entirely sure why Holmes reacts this way, but it's very characteristic of him.

WATSON: I've been dropping subtle hints to Holmes that I'm attracted to men.

ALSO WATSON: "There was a sound upon the stairs, and our door was opened to admit as fine a specimen of manhood as ever passed through it. He was a very tall young man, golden-moustached, blue-eyed, with a skin which had been burned by tropical suns, and a springy step which showed that the huge frame was as active as it was strong."

Quit buttering us up! 🧈

If aliens had landed in the United States any time between 1880 and 1940 they would quickly be convinced that we were a nation at war with butter substitute. Oleomargarine is everywhere in the records of Congress during this period. The Committees on Agriculture, Manufacture, and Ways and Means were all involved. Dairymen were sending their representatives petitions defending butter and decrying the fate of the nation if this interloper called “oleo” were to become a permanent fixture in American households.

C.C. Buell, a dairy farmer from Rock Falls, Ill., convinced some fellas of “at least average intelligence” at the Grange picnic to sign this petition saying there ought to be a law against oleo because “its continued use may be the cause of pestilential diseases in our large cities.” Nothing says hot button issue like fake butter!
