Episode three - Dead men's secrets

You sit at Charlie's bedside, his small hand in yours.

"Nurse Hatty, could you listen to his chest, I'm sure there is something wrong?" You ask the head nurse. She puts down the sheets in her hands and walks over, picking up a stethoscope. The cold brass makes the boy flinch.

"you may be right. Give me a moment I'll fetch the Doctor." She darted off.

"It's okay Charlie boy, the doctor is coming." You reassure him.

Jack was there swiftly, listening to his chest and checking his pulse and temperature.

"He shouldn't be dying." Jack sighed. You stand and round the bed coming to his side, taking hold of his arm.

"Is there nothing you can do?" You ask. Jack's eyes dart to your hand.

"Here comes Princess Witch Face." Hetty whispered. Your sister came rushing up to you both.

" Doctor, can I see you in the morgue?" Jack followed her pulling you along beside him having scooped your hand into his elbow. The morgue was a sight you had wished you would never see and the smell was just as bad. Belle darted around grabbing up a cloth from one of the bodies.

"The cloth was on his wound and the infection's gone. Look. There."

"The what?" Jack asked.

" The cloth. Had carbolic acid on it. Look, no rot." Belle repeated.

"Right, so...?"

"So, I've done some reading, all night, actually, and there was a chap called "Pasteur"."

"Pasta?" You laugh at the confusion in his voice.

'Pasteur." You repeat the name.

"Like, French pasta?" Jack joked.

"Discovered something called "germs". Microbes. Causes fermentation in wine." Belle explained.

"Right. Except, we're not making wine." You calrify.

"But then, Lister..."

"Who?" Jack interrupted.

"Lister at Edinburgh Royal connected microbes to infection. So, if fermentation and infection are caused by an organic property rather than spontaneous generation or miasma..." Your sister went on.

"Is there a translation of all of this?" Jack looked back at you.

"We can cure infection with carbolic acid." Belle finished

"This might save Charlie." You say with hope.

"The acid we use to treat sewage?" He looked between the two of you.

"Exactly. Look at the cloth line." She pointed to the corpse on the table. Jack looked closely at it, how the infection seemed to have begun to heal before he'd died.

"Hmm. We need to cut him open and see whether your cloth's stopped the rot beneath the skin." He announced.

"Clearly. I've never cut a man before." She states looking at the scalpel he offered.

"You can't hurt him any further." He smirked, handing the scalpel to Belle, "wait, y/n are you okay staying here for this?" He asks. Both Belle and you smile.

"I am not squeamish, Jack." Settling yourself on the stool across the room. Jack looked between the two of you.

"The two of you are something else." He sighed. The pair worked easily to open the corpse and peer inside. Curiosity took over you and you walked closer.

"This is how it all works. Somewhere in there is how we think, and feel and love. And die?" You say, Jack looks at you. Belle does not miss the adoration in his eyes.

"It is so much more than plumbing" she pulls his attention back to the job.

"No rot." She says triumphantly.

"Let's test it on Charlie." You suggest.

"No, wait." Jack stops you both. " What these... What did you call them?"

" Microbes." Belle reminds him.

" Right. How do we know they exist?"

"We postulate. Based on the symptomatic presentation..." Belle began to explain.

" Words. Use words." Jack huffed

"We can't see them, but we know they're there." Belle matched his tone.

"So, you want to kill invisible bugs with an acid usually used to treat raw sewage?"

"Yes."

" And your only proof of this, so far, is from some books and this corpse, which can't feel any pain." His words deflated your excitement.

"I've read all about this. Trust me." Belle implored him.

"The boy is dying." You say.

" No, except I don't! But I might, given more time and with further proof, but I just had to teach a procedure that a half-drunken teenage apprentice could do blindfolded."

"Yes. And the shock of an acid burn might kill him even quicker."

" Do you care about him at all?" Belle asked.

" I care very deeply. Find a way of making carbolic acid work without injuring him, then you can use it on Charlie. Until then, the answer is very much "sod off." Jack marched toward the door.

"How dare you speak to me like that?" Belle turned to him.

"I do apologise. Sod off, Milady. And I speak to everyone like this." He went to storm from the room.

"Jack?"

He sighed turning back to you.

"I'm sorry." He held his hand towards you and you took it following him into the main corridor.

"She can do it." You say to him.

"If you believe in her, then so do I. Maybe you could help her with it?" He suggests.

*_*_*_*_*

"It's too strong. It's still too strong." Belle sighs. She had covered the kitchen table with a number of dead pigs and carbolic acid. You had been watching her for hours as she worked.

"Where is the coconut ice?" Fanny asked looking at the mess

" I think it's under the pig. Could I borrow one of your arms?" Belle spoke absently.

"Of course not. Will you two ever stop with these experiments and look for husbands?" She said annoyed.

"I'm sorry Fanny, my sweet little sister. Take your Mr Smales and your ladies to the ice shop." You say handing your purse across to her.

"Oh, thank you Sister. That is very generous of you." She turned and rushed her friends out.

Happy to be alone Belle went back to her experiments as you watched. After a few more hours the pigs no longer burned so she decided to try it on human skin, pulling her dress up.

"No, you need your legs. Try it on me." You say.

"y/n I can't."

"I'm the eldest, you do as I say." You lift your dress up and put your foot on the chair, revealing the skin above your knee. Holding her breath Belle poured the acid onto your leg. It hurts instantly, burning you. Trying not to scream you rush to the sink and place a cold cloth over the burn. It didn't help you needed more help so you ran outside where an ice bucket was standing. You grab it up into the cloth and rest the ice against your skin. Belle followed you seeing her sister playing with her perfume bottle.

"I have an idea." She says, the two of you rush back to the house. Grabbing another perfume bottle from Fanny's room.

*_*_*_*

You had left Belle to continue her experiments with the acid and rushed into town to find Jack. You wanted desperately for him to have faith in your sister's work. The sun was beating down on you and your leg stung below the cotton of your bloomers. You had already been to the hospital and been told Jack was out so you were walking the streets searching for him. Hope was leaving you until you spotted him amongst the crowd in the market. Not too far away you see Darius stepping onto an orange box. He announced a chance for a contender to fight against Aputi.

The Doctor turns away, as the large man begins to pursue him. Thinking quickly you rush towards him.

"There you are." You say loudly.

" Lady y/n, Please let me escort you." He takes your hand and places it around his arm.

" Are we going to talk about the enormous man pursuing you?" You ask, glancing back at Aputi.

" Er, no. Let's not."

"And you're hurt. Here, come on." He pulls you into a side alley and drops down in front of you. Without thinking he begins to pull up your dress. The shaky breath that leaves you makes him look up, "Sorry, is this all right?" He asks.

"Right. Belle has had a breakthrough with the acid." You announce

"Clearly. Look, your dress is dissolving." He points to the broken silk of your skirt. "Oh." You press on the wound without thinking, flinching at the pain.

" I don't see how else you'd fix it." You say. With a nod he rolls the material up and uses a salve from his pocket. With two fingers he rubs it on to your skin, it's stings at first but as he rubs the pain lessens. You both look at each other. The intimacy of the moment catching in your throat.

"Belle knows how to stop it burning." You say trying to steady yourself as he raises to his full height.

"She can test it on Charlie when it's ready. I trust you." He whispers before darting away, leaving you flustered.

Belle missed dinner that evening, you made excuses for her feeling unwell; knowing for well she was at the hospital. You hoped little Charlie was doing better with the help of Belle's acid. You had already decided you would visit first thing in the morning. As you sat around the table your father was talking about the payload being stolen, something clicked in your brain.

CBS Ghosts Pilot - Ghosts Meet Sam & Jay Part 2

And now to the ghosts focus of the scene.

What’s interesting in the two gifs above is that you can see Flower, Pete and Trevor (IE the youngest ghosts), are all super happy and excited to see the new comers. It’s quite different to the older ghosts - Thor, Sass, Isaac, and Hetty - who probably know what it’s like not to have the run of the place and how difficult it can be for their afterlives, hence not being terribly happy.

Despite boredom, the older ghosts seem more content in having no livings around rather than looking for life to entertain them.

Also, HOW did I not notice that Alberta isn’t in this scene? Where did she go?? WHY isn't she curious about these new comers??? Was she helping Crash? It is only a few minute scene, so maybe.

Six generations from Sam would be her Four Greats Grandmother, yes? Hetty is Three greats, so that means Hetty's parents built the house, interesting. Probably sometime in the 1800s.

I love how excited Flower is for Hetty, which is hilarious due to Hetty’s response.

It's interesting the looks on the ghosts faces for this - Sass knows that it's been difficult for Hetty to watch her family over the years. Sp he looks at her to see how she'll react.

Meanwhile, Pete looks very excited for her, too. I wonder if this is because he wishes that he could know about his daughter and family and watch over them. (I assume this based on several later episodes, he clearly wishes that he died somewhere that they would visit).

There’s two things are interesting here - first, that Hetty is immediately against Sam due to a ‘saucy’ hairdo, which seems odd considering that she didn’t want the house to go to random people. On the other hand, perhaps she feels this way because it’s difficult to watch your offspring make mistakes (well, what you consider mistakes) and not be able to help in any way. This comes up later in Family Business. So, I may be onto something.

Second, she’s holding onto Trevor here. It’s interesting to me - not just as a shipper - because throughout the serious we see her hold onto three of the men ghosts - Isaac (which makes sense as her oldest friend), Sass (once in Ghost Writer), and Trevor (here, in Possession, in Thorapy, In Trevor’s Pants - not sure about others). The ones BEFORE finding out he's a "good guy" are the most interesting. Because she must've had some inkling that he's not that bad or there must've been something about him that made her feel comfortable here.

That OR since he's really into touch - like his love language is obviously touch and he can touch things, maybe she saw that and figured - easy person to hang onto.

Now it’s also interesting because I wonder if she connected with Trevor over losing Sophie - as he’s the only saddened one in that scene as I mentioned before) and if they had a better relationship before pilot. Because (and I’ll get into this later), it’s clear that there is a change in their relationship from the pilot in the next few episodes, so I wonder what lead to the closeness before (or if I’m imagining it) - could it be knowing Sophie & David or was it something else? Could this be her way of connecting to someone who's also connected to her family?

Isaac and Sass are quick to focus on whether or not there’s room for them. Something that is stark contrast to the younger ghosts that are just excited for life. They clearly are on a wavelength where they ONLY care about the effect of the living on their afterlives. I have to wonder if this is an effect of being a ghost for SO long that you stop caring about life and entertainment. You just get to a point where you're okay just hanging out with your fellow ghosts.

The gif of Trevor and Hetty is a weird gif because I’m wondering why he moved like that? It’s actually what drew my attention to her holding onto him. Also, what's with Pete's look at him?

What’s really interesting here is that Isaac obviously didn’t have much of an attachment to Sophie - just old lady bedridden, which was great for the ghosts. I totally understand why the ghosts feel this way, but at the same time - ouch to Hetty, whose own BFF doesn’t seem to care that she’s kind of grieving right now? Plus, they didn't grow attached to Sophie at all? I mean, they watched her for her whole life - given the thing we learn with Thor's closeness to Baby Hetty, I have to wonder if they PURPOSELY keep their distance after a while because they get hurt when the person grows up and dies.

I made myself sad. Anyway...

Okay, this is hilarious. They are literally ALL voyeurs. Pete sets up the whole “watching them” thing, and we know what Trevor’s thinking, but like - okay, they ALL do it, and Pete and Hetty are both acting like they don’t. The look Hetty Hetty gives him is SO great.

(This is especially funny because Hetty’s probably offended that he wants to watch HER relative, and then in Trevor’s Body, despite the fact that she’s sleeping with him, watches his parents have sex).

Although TBF to Pete, he was ASTOUNDED the other ghosts watched Trevor's parents, so maybe he doesn't. And I suppose Hetty needed her awakening first... BUT the others give Trev trouble about it, too.

Honestly, it’s so interesting to me that they give him such BS for it when they all do it - an example of baby ghost syndrome. They tease him because he’s the “youngest”. Poor guy. I'm hoping after TB, he put a stop to that.

It's interesting that Sam brought a sage with her before even seeing the house. She's like "It's old, therefore, I should be prepared".

I love that Trevor immediately looks at the older ghosts (Hetty in particular), because my boy is like “oh no - what’s going on?” You can really tell that he is still pretty new to the whole being a ghost thing. He's obviously expecting the others to know more. And hoping they'll know what to do.

Also, it's fun that Jay's obviously not a believer while Sam IS.

I love the gif of the three as Trevor does his weird movement, too. They’re like curious and yet, cautious. Plus I love that these three all have different looks on their faces.

Hetty's making a frowning face. Pete's curious. Trevor's like cautiously curious. It's Awesome.

I will say this a lot, but this cast is AWESOME with background faces. They are SO DAMN Good. So much happens in the background and I love it.

I love that Sam is already a believer. This scene establishes just why she’s so willing to assume that ghosts are real and it’s not just a figment of her imagination. It’s also interesting that Jay is a non-believer but by the finale of Season 1 he’s like “curses are real” without any proof.

OMG, I love this reaction. They’re all like “Ah, oh no.”

Trevor literally jumps back as he turns to Hetty/Isaac, Isaac mimics Trevor jumping back while Hetty either attempts to reach out to Isaac or protect Flower and Sass? I’m leaning towards the first option. And the others are just kind of like “maybe gasp, whatever.”

But Still, I totally love that they all react uncertainly. It's a sign that without knowing about the ghosts, Sam's already impacting their lives.

Okay I have to love that A) Pete’s down to smell it despite the fact that it was to “ward off evil spirits” and B) that as soon as he discovers that it doesn’t do anything bad, they all chase after them.

Sam should totally invest in more Sages to keep the ghosts out of her hair.

Two things before I end - 1 I LOVE that you can tell they clearly refilmed these scene just because how Trevor was before Thor and then after Thor in one gif.

2. I love that this sage smells like something different to everyone. It’s very interesting because it’s basically what attracts them. Also, love that they bring the Sage back up in Ghost Trap - Sam should totally buy a bunch to make the ghost leave her alone.

Anyway - end of scene. Feel free to hit me up if you want to discuss it.

copied from a with bad url/ link problems- copied it while I can (as it actually loaded)! Michael mahonen q&A's

Mainly about gus pike & road to avonlea, but other interesting topics pop up!

Again NOT MINE CREDIT TO THE OWNER

Q: One of the most frequently asked questions is " How old is Michael?" A: According to the IMDb he was born ... 27 April 1964., in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. (But upon meeting him, you will be surprised that he does not look his age, which is probably why he can, and does, play teenager's to early twenties.)

Q: People love Gus Pike's accent and want to know what Mickey 's accents sounds like...? A: According to Alexandra Heilbron, who interviewed Mickey for the Avonlea Tradition Chronicle; Mickey speaks with a soft Northern Ontario accent, the accent is not an obvious accent like Gus's accent is. To hear him speak in his natural accent, you need to watch him in "Collateral Damage" ( movie) or "Rin Tin Rin; K-9 Cop" ( tv show, that used to air on the Family channel, here in the US). Another interesting feature of the Rin Tin Tin show, is the fact that Barbara Hamilton ( Eulalie Bugle on RTA) played his mother! (Having spoken to MM... I agree, his accent is "soft".. but he does have one , occasionally he would say a word and it was all Canadian or "pure Gus"... :-D Having lived in California for almost five years, MM's natural accent is softer than it was ... but his ability to do various American accents is greater. It wouldn't surprise me to hear him do a "proper Bostonian" accent one of these day. LOL )

Q: In the first few Gus episodes, he is considerably taller than the other children. How old was he supposed to be? This is a much asked question. :) A: Mickey's answer: "It is not unusual for teenage boys to get their height early, but I thought of Gus ,at this point , as being about 17 years old."

Q: What song does Eliza sing in "The Return of Gus Pike"? Aren't there two songs we hear when we see Gus on screen? A: John Welsman, who composed much of RTA's music replied, that the song is based on a traditional song called "She's Like a Swallow", and is a song that Gus's mother, Eliza Pike, was fond of singing. The song most often heard in the background and is most associated with Gus Pike, (which was the song he played for Hetty King, on the fiddle , in the episode "Aunt Hetty's Ordeal" ) is simply called "Gus's Song". ( On the CD "Grey Eyed Morn" , by Sue Richards, who plays the Celtic harp; there is a song eerily similar called * "Ur Cnoc Cein Mhic Cainte" *) (I believe that the rough translation to 'Un Cnoc Cein Mhic Cainte' would be 'Mountain Far Away Beyond the Sea of Condemnation'. cheers! Delilah ... another translation is Ur The Fresh Hills of Mhic Cainte) ) Comments made by John Welsman... "Some people in the music for film business say that the best score shouldn't really be noticed at all, but in my favorite films or tv programs, I want to feel/hear the music playing somehow connected inextricably with the scene or characters, as if they were creating the mood of the moment musically. And 'beautifully sad' certainly describes the feeling of that Gus Pike theme - it's a traditional Irish piece with a long complicated name *, but I took the melody and wrote the accompaniment around it, and I think it's one of my favorite pieces from the series, too." Q; Did you enjoy the Avonlea Reunion event at the ROM, May 7, 2006? A: It was very nice to see some of you again at the Avonlea reunion. It was also nice to see the other cast members as well. The road of life and the Road to Avonlea intersected once again. At this meeting point, it was also good to speak with Kevin Sullivan. He and Dan, who has worked with Kevin for many years, did a very nice job and put a lot of work into a video and aural presentation, sharing about various facets of the production of Avonlea. It was also very nice to meet John Welsman, who provided much of the emotional impact for the show with his excellent music composition. NEW

Q: You look as if you are actually playing the fiddle, can you play? A: "I studied, and did learn to play several of Gus's song," Mickey answered," but never as well as Gus was able to play; so, any music you hear is being played by a musician, and not me".

Q: What nationality is Mahonen? A. Michael has said ( in a guest book) ,"... I am first and foremost a Canadian. More particularly from Kirkland Lake in Northern Ontario, and must say that I'm proud of it. As far as heritage; my mother is Irish/Finnish, and my father is Finnish/Finnish. I feel a great affinity to both the Irish and Finnish in my background. Nations that have had to fight to maintain their cultures, identities and borders and have refused to relinquish any of these..."

Q: Silly question... do you have a nick name? A: " Yes ... my family and friends call me "Mickey"... (grin) and it isn't a silly question."

Q: How do you pronounce your last name? A: As for my name pronunciation, in Finnish it is pronounced: MA' ho nen. Anglicized, it sounds Irish and is pronounced: Ma HO' nen

Q: We all love Gus Pike, what about you? A: Michael was quoted as saying," ...I love playing Gus and was looking forward to meeting up with him again..." and "...It was hugely rewarding to portray Gus Pike ..." , " Gus Pike has an innate intelligence, isn't highly educated, but is smart... is very genuine, very earnest and a little mysterious..."", " He's a symbol of truth and hope and honesty. There are certain decisions the character has made which may have affected others in ways not too pleasant; such as leaving Avonlea; but that was the truth for the character at the time". " I thought it best to only come back periodically which is the way the character was originally written " he says, " I think that's ideal because there is a mystery about Gus Pike that needs to be maintained for the integrity of the character." ( quote from 1994/1995 ...before Gus's so called "death" at sea).

Q: Gus chided Felix for trying to smoke his pipe , with the comment : "...Miss King says; smoking at a tender age is a sign of vulgarity..." ...any comment? A: A young fan, at the Harvest Festival asked about smoking, and the answer was "... smoking is un-cool..." . NO ... Mickey does not smoke. If when he is out with friends, there is an ash tray on the table and no one smokes, he will take the ash tray and put it on another table. He has smoked for certain roles, but does not smoke when not working.

Q: There has been much speculation as to why you were not in the movie "Happy Christmas, Miss King". Many of us felt the void left by the absence of Gus Pike, and were truly disappointed. A: Michael posted a long and detailed explanation for not being in HCMK Click here to read it.

Q: What made you turn to acting as a profession? A: "It was television mainly. I watched television, and many times thought "That isn't very good." or I thought, " I could do better than that." Actually, I think a lot of people think that a lot of time. And, frankly, they're probably right." ( Not long after having these thoughts, Michael enrolled in the theatre program at Toronto's George Brown College.)

Q: In an interview dated May 14, 1994, by Eric Kohanik, it states the fans reaction to your portrayal of Gus Pike was overwhelming., any comment? A: "Unbeknownst to me at the time I began the role, Gus Pike has become somewhat of a heart-throb," Mahonen laughs," But that's all right. It's fun. I love that character and the show. And the reaction is very flattering." ( According to Mahonen, Road to Avonlea has offered him the type of quality work that he has always been keen in pursuing.)

Q: What about work opportunities in L.A.? A: "The profession of an actor is very difficult because your career will always have ups and downs... There is no star system in Canada. There are celebrities but no publicity machine to support them. American culture is globally the most well known culture there is, because of the movie industry and the money that's put into it ....Because the market is very big in L.A., it demands patience. "concedes Mahonen. "They have a star system, so significant roles in major projects are almost always offered to those people. So, they're gone most of the time ( before anyone can audition for the roles...) .It gets frustrating sometimes., but, every actor has to be patient at times." and "...My career is sort of sitting on a plateau right now, because of my decision to come to the States..." (a quote from a 1995 interview). It has been reported, that as of August, 1999 ... Michael has returned to Toronto to live and work.

Q: Do you have a kind of philosophy that you try to live by? A: " I try to maintain hope. I've been described by people in my life as being a little obsessive and/or intense. That's fine by me. But sometimes happiness falls by the wayside due to that blinder vision. I can, at times, get lost in that obsessiveness towards my work. If I could, I would work all of the time, but that's not the reality of an actor, no matter what level you're at. I just want to be happy and content in my life and career; and, be able to enjoy both of them..."

Q: You have the ability to work on stage as well as films and television. What do you look for in a role? A: "What I'm looking for is the truth in a character, a scene, a situation, and the story ", he reflects. "The deciding factor is always the material." and "There are many ways to go about acting but it's important to me to try to find out who my character is in each piece I do; rather than continue to play extensions of myself..."

Q: How do you approach a new character? A: "You always learn things along the way ," explains Mahonen. " Because each character is so different and so specific, it feels like I'm starting over every time." and " It's always frightening at first. You want to get there, and you want to find that new thing that makes each character tick."

Q: How would you describe your career as an actor? A: "My career has almost been split between theatre and film and television.." Unlike some actors who tend to specialize in only one medium , Mahonen says he shifts easily from film and television to the stage. In fact, he see very little difference from one genre to the next.

Q: Was there one time when work was an especially challenging time? A: The filming of "Conspiracy of Silence" and "Road to Avonlea" simultaneously. A reviewer notes the following. "For four hours, Michael Mahonen is Lee Colgen, from the frightened teenage burgeoning alcoholic of 1971 to the full time drunk of the 1980's; a man who can not forget, for a single moment, the horror of the night a life was snuffed out. It's a classic performance; a portrayal of a high schooler you instantly loathe and an angry, on the defensive, divorced father who seeks, but wins no pity. Remarkable enough, but more so when he ( MM ) reveals that there were mornings when he played the troubled teenager, afternoons when he played the dissolute father, and on the following morning on the RTA set , where he was playing the lovable teenager, Gus Pike".

Q: Lee Colgan was a very complex character, and the movie spanned sixteen years. How did you prepare for the role? A: " I relied on the script and the research I had read on the case, which helped to "flesh out" the role. Emotionally, it's been really demanding. I considered phoning Colgan for about four seconds, but then thought the role would become what he wanted portrayed, so I didn't."

Q: In the movie "The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios" , you played Paul, a 19 year old who died from receiving a tainted blood transfusion. How was this a challenge? A: " I had to imagine as vividly as I could what it was like to have a terminal disease... to go through the different phases, emotionally, physically, technically. I had to get the weakness in the voice. ", he says. "But ,also, I took time to be aware of this being over and done," Mahonen says, then adds " It was very emotional, but I came away with a positive attitude, an appreciation for life. It was like a great journey done. Everything in life was fresh."

Q: I've heard that you are your own harshest critic; but that you take pride in this film... care to comment? A; "I had wanted to work with Michael Riley ( The "Narrator" of the film), for many years. It was a very special experience, very emotional, due to the nature of the subject. Several times we had the grips on the crew actually weeping away. It was quite an intellectual piece, and while it demands more attention from the audience than television usually does, the emotional impact is still there."

Q: Gus Pike is a "lovable boy", Lee Colgen a drunk, can you talk about Kevin in the play "Sled"? A malevolent character that kills three people in the play.( The role takes a heavy toll on him--- and on the play's audience.) A: "People who meet me after the show say ... I scare them" .When performances finish, " I find it difficult to consider the idea of going home and sitting alone". " During intermission, often the rest of the cast will be congregating in the common room upstairs and I'll just need to be by myself, thinking of where I'm going next. I have fun, too: we crack up and have a great time. Sometimes that's necessary for sanity." "Every single scene in this play is tantamount to what usually would be the singular climatic scene in a character's journey. Basically, every scene I have every night for three hours is at that high level. Being intense while acting any role--espescially this one--is the only way I know how to work...".

Q: You play "good" characters, such as Gus and Paul, can you comment on the "bad" characters you also play? A: " I don't judge the characters that I play, no matter how "bad" they may seem from the outside. My job is to attempt to understand them from a point of innocence and build from there..." Although he also appears in comedies, Mahonen says : " I seem to be cast as angry or brooding guys, roles that have huge emotional demands --like "Facts Behind Helsinki Roccamatios" in which the guy was dying of AIDS; I think I have a faculty to go to certain emotional levels..."

Q: Comedies? "Salt-Water Moon" by David French, a play set in the 1920's, tells the bitter-sweet love story of a traveling salesman and the former sweetheart he tries to win back during an encounter on a moon filled night in Newfoundland ...care to comment? A: "I love the passion, the love, the humor of this play. They're very colorful characters, unique people. And I love David French's work, I love his writing, it's very romantic." His co-star, Megan Leitch says; " It is a very human story; it's about two people who know each other very well, and that's a challenge because it is so human and so true to life...". Mahonen: "...These characters are so colorful, and the way they go about things is quite funny..."

Q: What was the most "innocent" character you ever played? A: " It was some sort of "Charlie Brown" show, in grade three or four," he says," I was given the part of Charlie, and I remember having to be forced to learn my lines at the last minute; and was quite bored with the actual work aspect. I liked just hanging out with the other kids when we rehearsed. The poor teacher was so frustrated with me and my lines and was quite nervous about the whole thing, from what I remember."

Q: What training did you have to become an actor? Aside from playing Charlie? A: " An acting class across town, while in the seventh grade. Later, after some "soul searching" auditioned for and was accepted at the Theatre Arts program at George Brown College, in Toronto. Peter Wylde, head of acting at the school, had a profound influence on Michael as an actor and a person. Wylde directed a production of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" with Michael in the lead role. [ Personal observation from Kitty. Having seen the Voyager episode, where MM plays the "Vori" speaking "Brone", it is obvious that Michael's Shakespearean training paid off. Brone's tongue-twisiting dialogue, flowed smoothly and naturally from his lips.]

Q: Now that you had training, what did you do? A: Auditions were held for The Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, and Michael secured one of only 15 positions in this prestigious company. His first job was in the production of "The Miracle Workers", playing James Keller; following with the roles of Lucius and Popilious Lena in "Julius Caesar". Then "Biloxi Blues" at Stage West in Calgary, "D Street and Broadway" at Toronto's Factory theater, and "Bordertown Cafe" at Theater New Brunswick. In 1994, he played Jacob Mercer in "Salt Water Moon". 1997 brought Michael to Toronto's Tarragon Theater, for Judith Thompson's play "Sled", where he played "Kevin".

Q: Acting does not seem physically rigorous, how do you stay in good physical condition? A: " Basketball has been a life time love; also, hiking in the mountains, working out at the gym and rollerblading..."

Q: On a less serious note... Can you play any instruments? A: Piano lessons as a child. Some lessons to play the fiddle as Gus Pike. ( At one point the sound engineers on RTA were surprised to hear the song Gus was supposed to be playing coming from Michael and the fiddle he was "playing"... he had learned to play the simple melody). For "Giant Steps" Michael was coached by Terence Blanchard, whom he met at a Jazz club in Toronto. He advised Michael to "...work your fingers until they feel like they are going to fall off..." which he did; and then Michael went on to learn the actual fingerings to eight song excerpts used in the film.

Q: Do you speak any language other than English? A: (Side note from Kitty) It is required that all signs and printed material of any kind ; are in both French and English. It is ,also, required that all Canadians learn French in school. Whether or not Michael retained or still uses the French he was taught in school is unknown. There have been questions about the Finnish language, as well. ( MM is 1/4 Irish. 3/4 Finnish... but ALL Canadian) A: Mickey is capable of speaking some "basic, rudimentary French and an occasional word in Finnish " :) , but can speak English with an interesting variety of accents.

A/N: This chapter is based off the second part of Bounty.

The Agent and the Lawyer, Part 16

“I don’t like him,” Deeks said as Kensi finished questioning Jafar Khan. “He’s smarmy.”

“You’re just saying that because he tried to give me his card,” Kensi said. She’d actually seemed a little charmed by the guy and all his suggestive comments. Which didn’t Deeks jealous at all. Not even a tiny bit.

“Would you like it if a woman gave me her card or tried to write her number on my hand?” Kensi’s eyes narrowed at his question for a second and then her expression smoothed completely.

“I’d rip her arm off,” she said dispassionately.

“Have I ever mentioned that you terrify me sometimes?” he asked, which earned a grin from Kensi. “I don’t know whether to be turned on or scared.”

“It’s good to keep a man guessing.” She touched his arm, slipping her phone from her pocket. “I’m gonna call Hetty. Can you update Sam and Callen?”

He nodded, stepping a few feet away.

Khan had turned out to be a wealth of information, along with being a highly skilled and rich foreign operative. He’d revealed to Kensi that he and Booth were long-time friends, related through marriage, and that they had worked on several operations together.

Shortly before being kidnapped, Booth had called Khan with information about the Taliban’s master bomb maker. Now they were on the clock to find Thomas Booth’s killers before they utilized his intel.

“Hey, Callen said a couple of Afghani guys opened fire while they were at the diner with Brandon.” Deeks told Kensi once they had both hung up. “They don’t know where Brandon is, but they were able to contact one of the men involved in Booth’s death.”

“That’s what Hetty said,” Kensi said as they started walking again. “She wants us to find Brandon and see if we can get any more information out of him. And make sure no one tries to kill him again.”

“You know, this kid isn’t going to tell us anything more than he told Sam and Callen,” Deeks said to Kensi as they waited for Brandon outside a gas station. Their main priority was to keep him safe, but if he happened to reveal pertinent information, it wouldn’t hurt. “He doesn’t trust us, he’s angry with his dad.”

Kensi crossed her arms as she scanned for Brandon again. Eric had said he’d be heading in their direction any minute.

“That may be true, but we don’t have any choice. We’re here to protect him,” she said with a shrug.

“What if I told you I had an idea?” It had been rolling around in his mind since they found out about the Booths’ less than stellar relationship.

“I’d say I need more information.”

“Or maybe you could just follow my lead,” he suggested.

“Fine, but just don’t get too crazy, ok?” He nodded his assent and then said,

“Here he comes.”

“Brandon Booth?” Kensi asked, stepping out from her hiding spot and holding up her ID. He barely glanced at it.

“Are you here to ask about my dad too?” he asked. “Because last time someone asked me about him, I almost got killed.”

“We're just here to make sure you're safe, all right? You don't have to talk about your dad if you don't want to.” Deeks assured him. “God knows, I'm not talking about mine. Kensi, you feel like talking about your dad at all?”

“Not a chance,” she said immediately.

“See, we’re all on the same page.” Brandon didn’t look all that convinced, but he gestured in front of him and grudgingly said,

“I live a few blocks away.”

“Ok, we’ll give you a ride,” Kensi said and it wasn’t a suggestion.

“So Van Nuys High, huh?” Deeks asked.

“You either ran a search on me, or that was a lucky guess,” Brandon said. Deeks chuckled. He appreciated the kid’s honesty. Kensi walked a few feet ahead of them, giving them space. If she was surprised by Deeks’ knowledge of Brandon’s life, she didn’t show it.

“Oh, come on, man. It's obvious. You're not the only person who grew up in Los Angeles,” Deeks said. Brandon glanced at him for a moment, scrutinizing him, and then said,

“Reseda.”

“Bingo.”

“I hated Reseda guys,” Brandon said, sounding like he meant it. Deeks couldn’t help laughing. He felt just a little bit bad that he was getting on Brandon’s good side for the case.

“You know, Van Nuys used to have the hottest girls back in the day,” Deeks said, thinking of a few girls in particular.

“Still does. But they got attitude.”

“They all got attitude.” Deeks raised his voice a little to make sure Kensi heard him. As expected she turned her head, rolling her eyes at him. She would have fit right in at Van Nuys.

***

Deeks continued chatting with Brandon while they drove to his house. Brandon had warmed up ever so slightly, seeming to enjoy dissing anything and everything Reseda. Kensi remained silent as she drove, reluctant to disrupt the connection, however fleeting it may be.

When they got to his house, Deeks ushered Brandon inside while Kensi cleared the backyard and house. As she came back through the kitchen, she heard Deeks talking about birthday cards and paused, sensing that it was a poor time for an interruption.

“You know, after high school I didn’t have any plans. No, uh, job, didn’t know about college,” Deeks told him. Kensi frowned, wondering where he’d come up with this. Was any of it true? As far as she knew, he’d lived with his mom as a teenager.

“I know the feeling.” Brandon sounded sympathetic. There was a moment of silence and then Deeks spoke again.

“My dad and I are polar opposites, ‘cause he’s the kind of guy that looks, like, six different directions before he crosses the street.” Kensi was amazed at how easily he spun a story. Even if it was partially based in reality, he once again was succeeding with a skill that many trained agents struggled with.

“He actually said to me, one time, he said that, “if you don’t get your act together, you're gonna spend the rest of your life trapped in this town. You know, just like every other loser that's too scared to venture out in the world and make his mark.”

“And... So when did you do it? Move out of L.A., conquer your demons, prove the old man wrong? That’s the next chapter of this little pep talk, right?” Brandon asked, his voice turning sarcastic. Any trust between him and Deeks seemed to be quickly evaporating.

Deeks huffed out a laugh and she could picture him fiddling with his hair like he did when he was uncomfortable.

“To this day, I've never lived further away than two miles from the house that I grew up in,” he said.

Kensi’s cell rang, cutting short her eavesdropping. It was Eric with Brandon’s call log. She walked in as Deeks was telling some story about getting in trouble with his dad and she caught his eye, nodding in the direction of the kitchen.

“Hey, Eric has an update,” she said shortly. Deeks followed her into the kitchen and she kept her voice low as she told him about the calls and the implications. Deeks nodded, sighing and said,

“Ok, let me talk to him. Maybe he won’t be so defensive if it’s coming from me.”

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Kensi asked, thinking that it wouldn’t be good to damage the only connection Brandon had made.

“I think I can get him to talk to me,” Deeks insisted. “He trusts me enough that if I ask him about it, we might not completely alienate him.”

“You like him, don’t you?” Deeks shrugged at her question, tucking his thumbs into his pockets as he turned back towards the house.

“He reminds me of someone I used to know.”

It wasn’t really an answer and Kensi wondered if he was actually talking about himself.

Deeks came out a few minutes later and quietly got in the SUV. He was holding what looked like a blue envelope.

“What’s that?”

“Probably nothing,” he answered, pulling out a card with a picture of a younger Thomas Booth and a little boy she assumed was Brandon slipped inside.

“You took that from his house?” Kensi asked, surprised and also impressed that he would think of it. “Tsk, tsk, taking things without a warrant,” she teased.

“He threw it away,” Deeks said, rolling his eyes. “He really does not like his father at all. But I don’t think he had anything to do with his murder. He claims he just needed to talk to his uncle after finding out his dad was dead.”

She pulled into traffic, watching Deeks from the corner of her eye.

“You told him a lot about your father. Was any of it true?” He fingered the card for a second then slipped it in his pocket.

“You really think I haven’t lived more than two miles from the home I grew up in?” He rubbed at his bottom lip, looking out the window.

“It sounded pretty believable to me,” Kensi said, keeping her voice light. She knew his family was a slightly hands-off topic, but he had brought it up with a Brandon. He could have found another way to gain his trust.

“I was telling a story,” Deeks said firmly. “If you recall, I’m surprisingly good at that.”

“Okay.” She didn’t completely believe him, but she didn’t press anymore. It wasn’t like she’d been completely open about her past either.

***

“I don’t think Brandon had any idea that his uncle is involved,” Deeks said firmly as he stared at the pictures of Khan’s victims. He sounded a little defensive, like he was expecting someone to challenge him. “As much animosity as he has for his father, he wanted him to care. I think he’s actually mad at him for getting killed.”

“I agree,” Callen said. “Which means that Brandon is still in danger. But that doesn’t get us any closer figuring out where the high value target is.”

“What about this?” Deeks pulled out the card and picture, handing it to Eric. “Brandon mentioned that his dad was always late with birthday cards and this was mailed the day he was kidnapped. Maybe Booth had something more important than birthdays on his mind when he sent that.”

Eric quickly scanned it, revealing a seal under the service which contained a set of coordinates to the high value target’s location.

“Booth must have known we’d investigate and hoped we’d find the picture “ Sam commented. “It was a risky move.”

“Especially since it could have put his son in more danger,” Kensi pointed out.

“Nice catch, by the way,” Nell said to Deeks as they pinpointed the exact location.

“We need to intercept Jafar Khan before he kills the target and disappears,” Callen said grimly. “Now we just have to convince Hetty to let us go.”

As they left the room, Deeks stayed behind, chatting with Eric and Nell. He joined Kensi in the bullpen a few minutes later.

“Hey, how do you feel about taking a field trip?” he asked. “I think we should probably get this back to Brandon.”

***

“What did you write in the card?” Kensi asked Deeks as he silently got into the SUV again, his eyes introspective.

“What makes you think I would write anything in his card?” he countered. “All I did was return his property.” Rolling her eyes, she took his hand and flipped it over.

“Deeks, you have blue ink on your fingers.” He looked at the smudges for a moment and then sighed, rubbing his thumb across his bottom lip. He didn’t move his hand from hers.

“His last memories of his dad shouldn’t all be negative,” he said finally.

“Why does it matter so much?” Kensi asked, trying to understand why a random teenager had struck such a nerve. “You’ll probably never see Brandon Booth again, or know if what you did had any affect.”

“I’ve known a lot of kids like him. Kids with absent fathers. All they want to know is that the guy cared, even a little bit. And I gave him that.” His voice deepened as he spoke, growing more emotional.

“Your dad was like Thomas Booth, wasn’t he?” Kensi concluded. He chuckled at that, his lips twisting with half a smirk. He twisted his head to look at her, his bangs falling into his eyes with the movement. His sarcastic expression didn’t quite reaching his eyes.

“Unfortunately, my dad was nothing like him,” he said. “We should probably get back to the mission before Hetty sends out a search team or something.” It was a clear request to end the conversation. Kensi wasn’t quite through though.

“You did a good thing today,” she said, squeezing his hand. “And whenever you’re ready to tell me more about your past, I’ll be here.” She leaned over to kiss him, just a brief brush of their lips, but it was enough to wipe the frown from his face. Pulling back, she put the vehicle into drive, and grinned at Deeks.

“Now what where you telling Brandon about these Van Nuys girls?”

***

A/N: Per several people’s suggestions and my own preferences for this story, I will probably be using select scenes from some episodes along with whatever my lurid imagination comes up with.

While Callen was recovering at Balboa, the Navy had an inhouse cable system. He wasn't a huge TV fan but stuck in bed or exhausted from rehab, he'd find a movie to watch while he was falling asleep. There was a channel with action movies but a lot of the violence and all of the swearing were edited out. The different "Lethal Weapon" movies would show up from time to time. Like Danny Glover's character, Callen was beginning to think he was getting too old for this stuff. Well, "stuff" is what the "edited by NMCSD" allowed. He had a feeling Danny Glover used more adult language. Callen was using some of that language during rehab.

Every few days someone stopped by to visit. Sam kept on bringing "plant-based" food, which Callen was pretty sure wasn't actually food. That poison that nearly killed Granger a few years ago was based on a plant – who'd want to eat that? Hemlock was a plant. Callen doubted that foxglove and hemlock were part of those bland veggie burgers Sam was pushing off as tasty but you know what didn't have foxglove and hemlock – USDA approved beef, chicken and pork.

Sam would also bring books. Good books. Smart books. Gibbs recommended the book about the Indianapolis the day after Sam showed up with it. It was a good book.

Kensi and Deeks came with In-N-Out. Callen would have a Double-Double cheeseburger, fries and a shake – real food. ��He couldn't honestly say what Kensi ate as it was gone before he even unwrapped his burger. Callen did notice that Deeks would disassemble then reassemble his burger and never do it the same way twice. Sometimes the pickles were on the burger, sometimes there was a lettuce barrier.

Kensi brought an old office iPad, wiped of NCIS data but loaded with the Times Crossword puzzle app – Kensi had a subscription – and about three dozen true crime podcasts that Deeks loved. Callen didn't like the crime podcasts but found ones on economics and history.

During their first visit, Eric and Nell told Callen they bought an Instant Pot and weren't afraid to use it. Lots of stews and chili and he wasn't complaining. The little song and dance number every visit related to the food may have earned a grumpy remark or two but "Edelweiss" one day with a German-style beef roast after a brutal day of PT was sort of nice.

Nell had no news about Hetty, who never returned after being ordered to D.C. while Eric did an Ops-style briefing sans tablet.

When he got home, he learned Kensi was the Queen of Postmates while Eric was the Earl of Uber Eats. Callen started working out at the office gym, went fishing with Sam and his buddy SEAL Tom, saw the Rams beat the Raiders with Deeks and watched Nell humiliate a bunch of 20-something geek guys in a drone race. Life was going back to normal. He still thought he was getting too old for this stuff. He was back from being shot in four months a few years ago. It took nearly that time to recover from Mexico. Of course, a few years ago was actually more than a decade and he put some wear and tear on the body since.

Cleared to return, he enjoyed sitting with Sam, who truly was his brother as Sam said in the grain shed. The bickering Kensi and Deeks were entertaining – something he almost envied. They found each other while he never heard from Anna during his recovery. It was just as well. Looking at the three other people in the boat shed as they chowed down on tacos and beer, he had the people around him who mattered. He was never going to get too old for this stuff.

Dinah coaxes Lisbeth out by conversing with her of her own youth. She cajoles Lisbeth to eat, enables tidy to up around the kitchen, and lays down with her. Seth is extremely happy to have Dinah in the house and particularly soothed by her capacity to quiet Lisbeth.

Rundown: Chapter 11

At a young hour toward the beginning of the day, Adam ascends to start working and he hears Dinah in the kitchen, clearing and getting ready breakfast. He doesn't know who is in the house since he was snoozing when Dinah arrived, and he covertly trusts that it is Hetty.

Synopsis: Chapter 12

Commander Donnithorne dresses for the day and chooses not to be at home when Hetty touches base to see the servant. Making plans to go on a trek, he goes to the stable to arrange his pony prepared yet discovers that she is faltering. At that point the chief visits a companion for lunch and not be back until after Hetty has cleared out. After lunch with his companion, he alters his opinion about observing Hetty. Running back as quick as possible, Captain Donnithorne endeavors to get Hetty when she strolls through the forested areas while in transit to the house. He meets her in the forested areas and talks with her. When he says another of her suitors, Hetty starts to cry, and Captain Donnithorne is so moved by her misery that he puts his arm around her. He rapidly recoups himself, nonetheless, when Hetty drops her bushel, and he inconsiderately and unexpectedly abandons her, at first vowing not to see her again when she strolls back that night. In the wake of reasoning alone for 60 minutes, nonetheless, Captain Donnithorne concludes that he should see her all things considered, to rectify the impression he gave her that evening, when he may have appeared to be a darling.

Investigation: Chapters 9– 12

Chief Donnithorne's failure to control himself and his defenses about his association with Hetty speak to the results of terrible conduct and imprudence in the novel, yet they are depicted in a way that makes it difficult to hate Captain Donnithorne. The issue with Hetty is an exceptionally human coming up short, and Eliot's depiction of Captain Donnithorne isn't attacking, despite the fact that his activities realize the most exceedingly terrible occasions in the story. Discretion and trustworthiness with oneself are depicted as critical characteristics in Eliot's principle characters. Not at all like Captain Donnithorne and Hetty, Adam and Dinah are both profoundly fair with themselves and with every other person about their inspirations and wants, and this trademark recognizes them from the minor characters. Commander Donnithorne's greatest disappointments are depicted tenderly. The depiction of his gathering with Hetty is laden with delicacy, particularly in the portrayal of the landscape. Commander Donnithorne's endeavors to lure Hetty could be viewed as detestable. Hetty is, all things considered, more youthful, less experienced, and in a socially second rate position to him. It is difficult to see Captain Donnithorne as a predator, be that as it may, when the primary move he makes toward her is to comfort her in light of her tears. The sensitivity Eliot incites for Captain Donnithorne, even as he confers the activities that achieve the emergency of the novel, is steady with the possibility that it is human commitment to love all neighbors with their issues.

The connection amongst Adam and Dinah in the Bedes' kitchen anticipates their adoration. Despite the fact that Adam makes her mindful of her own body, Dinah does not lose her poise, as she will never enable her affections for Adam to meddle with her affections for Seth and her empathy for Hetty. The redden and the possibility that Dinah can feel as a young lady additionally add a critical part to her character. Her affection for Adam, which truly begins as to a greater degree a squash, influences her a full to character, one able to do each human inclination. Adam's consciousness of Dinah's magnificence and his satisfaction for Seth recommends the way he will in the end come to love her, first as a sister and just later as a darling and spouse. Adam's adoration for Hetty is absurd, yet his affection for Dinah recovers him, demonstrating that he can love the better things in a lady and accomplice. Despite the fact that his adoration for Hetty is situated in his capacity to see the best in her, it is likewise in no little part in light of her excellence. His affection for Dinah, by differentiate, is based just in her better characteristics. By including this early experience, Eliot insights at Adam's thriving affection for Dinah, which won't happen as expected until the specific last sections of the novel.

The fortuitous events that keep Captain Donnithorne from making tracks in an opposite direction from Hetty before their first gathering in the forested areas constitute the possibility of catastrophe in the novel. Since Hetty is thought to be inside a lower societal position than the skipper, the peruser accept that a future between the two is suspicious. A progression of human mistakes, for the most part with respect to Captain Donnithorne, yet in addition from Adam and the Poysers, consolidate with the fortuitous event of a steed's weakness and a broken arm to set in movement occasions with unwanted results. On the off chance that any of those components had not been available, it is conceivable that the Hetty and Captain Donnithorne never would have cooperated. This plot of occasions influence destiny to appear to blame for what is to come rather than the activities of any of the characters.

Specifically, Mr. Rann gripes about the wheelwright, Will Maskery, who is a Methodist and has made stigmatizing comments about Mr. Irwine and Rann. Mr. Irwine ignores the abuse and advises Rann to leave Maskery to his own business. As Rann is leaving, Captain Arthur Donnithorne touches base to ask Mr. Irwine to run riding with him. Commander Donnithorne is the grandson and beneficiary of the neighborhood landowner, Squire Donnithorne. Referred to all through the town as "the youthful squire," he is a dashing man who is remaining at the Squire's domain to recoup from damage in the armed force. Rann tells both Mr. Irwine and Captain Donnithorne about the demise of Thias Bede, Adam's dad.

Rundown: Chapter 6

Dinah repairs materials at her auntie's home, called Hall Farm. Mrs. Poyser, Dinah's close relative, admonishes the house keeper for being sluggish, despite the fact that the cleaning specialist has been extremely enterprising throughout the day. She snickers while thinking back about the amount Dinah resembles the close relative who raised her after her mom kicked the bucket. Mr. Irwine and Captain Donnithorne arrive, and Captain Donnithorne asks Mrs. Poyser to demonstrate to him her dairy.

Synopsis: Chapter 7

Commander Donnithorne and Mrs. Poyser go to the dairy, where Captain Donnithorne first looks at Hetty. A wonderful young lady, Hetty is the seventeen-year-old niece of Mr. Poyser. The Poysers took her in after she was stranded, and she lives with them at Hall Farm and helps Mrs. Poyser with family unit errands. Skipper Donnithorne plays with Hetty, notwithstanding going so far as to ask Mrs. Poyser to go get her little girl, Totty, to have a couple of minutes alone with Hetty. Hetty reacts playfully to his advances. Skipper Donnithorne asks Hetty when she will next be at the Chase, where Captain Donnithorne lives, and Hetty uncovers her intends to visit a maid at the home the following day.

Synopsis: Chapter 8

While the others are in the dairy, Mr. Irwine visits with Dinah and asks her how she turned into a minister. Dinah clarifies that she was once setting off to an adjacent town with an evangelist when that minister fell sick. Since she felt moved by God, she remained in for him and has been an evangelist even since. She discloses that she lives in the rougher nation around Snowfield since she is called to reduce the agony of the individuals who live there. Dinah likewise uncovers that she works in the factory in Snowfield. Mr. Irwine does not berate Dinah for her convictions but rather treats her tenderly. Whenever Mr. Irwine educates Dinah concerning the demise of Thias Bede, she tells Mrs. Poyser and Hetty. Hetty is unaffected by the news, yet Dinah sets out to go visit Lisbeth to attempt to comfort her.

Examination: Chapter 5– 8

Sections 7 and 8 show Hetty as Dinah's thwart by the way they each collaborate with men. The discussion between Captain Donnithorne and Hetty in section 7 straightforwardly stands out from the discussion between Mr. Irwine and Dinah in part 8. Where Captain Donnithorne and Hetty talk about nothing specifically but then plan another significance altogether, Mr. Irwine and Dinah discuss extremely individual things and are clear and unfazed. From the earliest starting point, at that point, Dinah and Hetty are set in resistance. Dinah centers around others, and she is not kidding and quiet. Hetty centers completely around herself and is coy and eccentric. Her absence of worry on learning of Thias' demise, when she should mind more than Dinah on the grounds that she is at any rate companions with Adam and knows he adores her, recommends in Hetty a profound narrow-mindedness that diverges from Dinah's craving to help other people. Dinah and Hetty likewise share a few likenesses, which uplift the complexity among them. Both are strongly wonderful ladies who were stranded and raised by an auntie. They are of comparable ages and class, and both are single. Both will come to have a vital part in the life of Adam Bede, albeit how they feel toward him will be unique. The distinctions in the characters of Hetty and Dinah prompt their diverse closures and make Hetty the nearest thing the novel has to a scalawag, though Dinah is its courageous woman.

Mr. Irwine and Captain Donnithorne are additionally conversely with each other, notwithstanding shallow likenesses.

He has a place both with the universe of the lower class, as far as his profound quality and his convictions, and to the universe of the high society, regarding his keenness and complexity. Mr. Massey, the teacher, talks generally clear English, yet he says everything twice. This eccentricity may come from his life as an instructor of poor understudies. In his expert profession, he should dependably continue all that he says. Mrs. Poyser has the thickest highlight in the novel, and her intelligence coordinates her custom made learning. Her phrases are normally unique, and their knowledge is significant. Her character, similar to her pronunciation, speaks to the knowledge of the nation worker in the novel. Eliot's portrayal of the emphasize is phonetic, so any challenges the perusers numerous have with the accents can be settled by sounding out the words. The diverse accents are vital on the grounds that they mirror the characters' actual natures.
