I told him we had everything we needed. That we should just go public. He said nobody would care unless we had someone in power who would listen. He was just trying to keep me safe. And now I've lost him.

La escritura transparente

Fragmento de La escritura transparente. Cómo contar historias, de William Lyon.

Por aquel entonces se bromeaba en la UPI diciendo que escribíamos para the Kansas City Milkman (...). Los artículos tenían que ser sencillos y directos para que este hipotético lector, probablemente sin mucha educación ni cultura, pudiera comprenderlos a la primera. La regla de oro era sujeto, verbo, complemento; verbos activos, no pasivos. Las palabras normales y corrientes desterraban a las largas y pretenciosas; si bastaba una, ¿para qué usar tres? Las frases, cortas.

 Baronet -> Coal-miners -> Royalty  

“A time may yet come, perchance, when a descendant of one of these simple artizans may arise, not unworthy of the Conyers' ancient renown; and it will be a gratifying discovery to some future genealogist, when he succeeds in tracing in the quarterings of such a descendant the unsullied bearing of Conyers of Durham." Sir Bernard Burke, 1861.

In 1861 the genealogist and publisher of Burke’s Peerage Sir Bernard Burke, in his book "Vicissitudes of Families", dedicated a chapter to the “The Fall of Conyers" which concludes with the following: "Magni stat nominis umbra! The poor Baronet left three daughters, married in very humble life: Jane, to William Hardy; Elizabeth, to Joseph Hutchinson; and Dorothy, to Joseph Barker, all working men in the little town of Chester-le-Street. A time may yet come, perchance, when a descendant of one of these simple artizans may arise, not unworthy of the Conyers' ancient renown; and it will be a gratifying discovery to some future genealogist, when he succeeds in tracing in the quarterings of such a descendant the unsullied bearing of Conyers of Durham."

Sir Thomas Conyers, was the 9th and last Baronet Conyers of Horden Hall. While a gentleman at birth, he was reduced to poverty and resided at the Durham Workhouse. His pride made him reject financial aid from his distant relatives, among them his second cousin Mary Eleanor Bowes, Countess of Strathmore, whose funeral he attended at Westminster Abbey in 1800. At the time she was one of the wealthiest women in England and is an ancestor of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons, the late Queen Mother.

His later years were made somewhat more comfortable at the aid of another distant cousin, George Lumley-Saunderson, the 5th Earl of Scarborough who provided him with a small house. Sir Thomas died a pauper on 15 April 1810. His surviving children, three daughters had married working men in the little town of Chester-le-Street, County Durham. As if from a Thomas Hardy novel, his daughter Jane married a man named William Hardy. 

For five generations Sir Thomas Conyers descendants would work as labourers, and often in coal mines once owned by distant ancestors and now owned by the Bowes-Lyon family. By the sixth generation his descendant Robert Harrison, a carpenter left his family still working in the coal mines to seek opportunities in London. There he married and had a daughter, Dorothy who married a builder named Ronald Goldsmith. 

The early years of Dorothy and Ronald’s marriage and their children's upbringing were spent in a comfortable council house, providing the security needed to buy their own home. Their daughter, Carole, became a flight attendant and married a young flight dispatcher, Michael. They settled in Berkshire and spent a few years in Jordan, working for British Airways, before returning to Berkshire, where Carole started her own business at her kitchen table. 

Almost ten generations and 201 years after Sir Thomas Conyers died a pauper, his descendant Catherine Middleton married Prince William of Wales on 29 April 2011.

Bertie & Elizabeth

She had given the Duke of York what he had always longed for, a happy family life. As his wife, she had dedicated herself to him… She had given him confidence and social grace…The King always talked of his family as ‘We Four’. But, within ‘We Four’, ‘We Two’ were closest of all.

Those closest to Elizabeth saw more clearly than the world at large that it was a relationship of mutual dependence. It had become commonplace to say that, without her, the King could never have become ‘the great and gallant King he proved to be’, as a friend in later life observed. ‘But perhaps what is not widely known is the fact of her great reliance on him, on his wisdom, his integrity, his courage…’

Doris Vyner {Elizabeth’s close friend since childhood} …understood how desperately she had needed the King and she commented that without him her ‘mainspring’ had gone. Indeed Doris pointed out to mutual friends whom she trusted that although everyone thought that the Queen had energized the King and kept him up to his work, in fact the opposite was true.  The initiatives almost all came from the King - he had had to make the decisions. Now she was quite lost without him.”
