Real shame the crossword constructor couldn't shoehorn in a character from an obscure book series from the mid 19th century that, as far as I can see, last entered the public consciousness from a 1970s BBC costume drama that lasted 26 episodes that even Google's search suggestion had trouble surfacing.

So great had been the desolation of Mr Palliser's life since his banishment from London that he almost felt tempted to tell the story of his troubles to this absolute stranger. But he bethought himself of the blood of the Pallisers, and refrained. There are comforts which royalty may never enjoy, and luxuries in which such men as Plantagenet Palliser may not permit themselves to indulge.

Christmas in the Palliser household (aka Plantagenet forgetting that not everyone has the same special interest as him 😂)

Putangirua Pinnacles, Palliser Bay, Cook Strait, New Zealand: The Putangirua Pinnacles (also known colloquially simply as The Pinnacles) are a geological formation and one of New Zealand's best examples of badlands erosion. They consist of a large number of earth pillars or hoodoos located at the head of a valley in the Aorangi Ranges, on the North Island of New Zealand, in the Wellington region. Wikipedia

The BBC only ever did one (1) good thing and that was making all of those period dramas in the 1970s-1990s that go so extremely hard in every way

None can like sportsmen so thoroughly enjoy the luxury of passing the bottle, when they sit together retailing and listening to their mutual adventures; for hunting, in the extended acceptation of the term, is one of those very few occupations, in the pursuit of which sportsmen good and true are never actuated by envy, jealousy, or unworthy emulation.

Excerpt from The Solitary Hunter: Or, Sporting Adventures in the Prairies by John Palliser [1853]

the majority of 19th century western canadian history is “we brits/canadians are going to boldly go where no man has gone before” and then everywhere they go there’s already some guys there (and also they bring their own guys who also already live there to show them the usual trails)

#and i'm not just saying they ignored indigenous folks #they also ignored the european company with european employees #and the europeans who had already made maps #and to this day we don't know what these guys actually saw because they didn't bother to listen or figure out where they were the whole time #and no its not english people ignoring french people or scottish people #its english people and in pallisers case irish people ignoring everyone #including other english people #because everyone wants to be The Guy That Found the Thing #and in this time period all you have to do is say you wanna be the guy and get funding for it #and i acknowledge this post does not even acknowledge the events and policies that led up to the RRR and NWR #i just trying to make silly joke where i can #oh and related also but the soundtrack to 19th century western canada #is david bowie im afraid of americans on repeat

But it was a heart, and it required food. To love and fondle some one,—to be loved and fondled, were absolutely necessary to her happiness. She wanted the little daily assurance of her supremacy in the man's feelings, the constant touch of love, half accidental half contrived, the passing glance of the eye telling perhaps of some little joke understood only between them two rather than of love, the softness of an occasional kiss given here and there when chance might bring them together, some half-pretended interest in her little doings, a nod, a wink, a shake of the head, or even a pout. It should have been given to her to feed upon such food as this daily.
