"And if I don't?"

Simon you done killed a damn kid. wt actual f #forgive the caps but cmon. what the hell Moore. and he directed it too! sigh. but yeah this is a pretty good one‚ if bewilderingly plotted #in places. a lot going on. Charteris (who even at this point was fairly involved with the series‚ getting a look at scripts and plot #summaries in advance of production) was a great admirer of Nation's scripts for the series. no word on what he made of Moore's directing #i think he's pretty good for what it's worth!

Tell me about the Conjuring AU 👀

Ok so, I have two.

The first being Warrens!Winnix with Dick as Lorraine and Lew as Ed. Dick finds him, one day, drowning in the ghosts in his blood and in his head, struggling with trying to remember a childhood spent in a haunted house, where the spectres of his family's past and their present hang around his father and make him angry enough to go slighty mad. They took his sister, too. And he's afraid that they'll take him next.

And yeah they get together and are in love very much and Dick constantly likes to run straight into danger while Lew chases after him while screaming his name on the top of his lungs, but it's just a typical sunday for them.

The other au is more of a crossover, actually. I had plans to write it for like a Band of Brothers spoopy thing but I just lost momentum. I did have a summary ready tho:

"Responding to the call of a worried Mr Harry Welsh Jr., the Warrens make their way down to the massive Nixon estate in New Jersey, where they meet its unlikely new owners: one Maj Dick Winters, a kind man with grey eyes clouded in grief, and the ghost of the man who loved him."

Basically, after a long life together, Nix has died and in his will, he gives Dick the haunted Nixon house (it's actually haunted look it up), the one thing that his father did not take away from him when he chose to run away with Dick. Unfortunately, Nix isn't the only ghost in this house. After all, Stanhope Nixon isn't one to give up on having the last laugh.

It's supposed to be a contemplation of one's grief at the death of a spouse because a lot of the Warrens' marriage parallels that of Winnix's in my mind, but I couldn't find a way to weave it all together so. It got shelved.

Screwed

Remember what I said yesterday about the crackfic?  Well, here it is. Even cleaned it up a little for you.

Sideslip - the one where Nix invites Dick and Joan home to see Nixon, New Jersey before embarking for France, and says some things he probably shouldn’t have said.

Below cut for comments of a somewhat sexual nature.

It was after dinner, and they were sitting in the quiet, elegant dark of the smoking room, Nixon senior with his brandy and cigar, Nixon Junior with his whiskey, and Dick with a glass of ice and sodawater. This room - this whole house!  - seemed to belong to another century, though Nix had informed Dick and Joan on the car ride over it wasn’t as ancient as it pretended to be. But it felt old, with the porte-cochere and the heavy wood paneling in the front hall, and the dining room table for twenty with silver candlesticks sending their soft flames along the shine of the mahogany. A maid and a black-garbed butler had served dinner, silently attending from the edges of the room.

In fact, it had been one of the quietest dinners Dick had eaten in a long time - heavy on one-word answers and silent glances across the table. The answers had been Lewis’s, the glances Dick and Joan’s, and the impression that Dick was getting from Joan’s face was that even she, who had been to dinner in houses like this one once or twice, found this all a little odd. But she knew the form, that after dinner came brandy and cigars for the gentlemen, and like a good little houseguest she excused herself after the cheese and fruit, tucking her napkin onto her chair and thanking her host for an exceptional meal.

Nixon Senior’s eyes had followed her out of the room with interest. And that same interest was still in Stanhope Nixons’s eyes as he studied his son over the top of his brandy snifter.  “So, you screwing her?”

It was a matter-of-fact question, as though this were the only option available. Dick didn’t know what to do with his face, but the question didn’t faze Lewis - he was as deadpan as ever. 

“Very regularly. It’s a new army thing - builds morale.”

Stanhope nodded, the answer clearly one he approved of. “You hear much from Katherine?”

“Michael’s got a tooth coming in,” Nix replied, taking another sip of his whiskey.

And on it went, while Dick sat on the sideline, the ice in his drink slowly melting into oneness with the sodawater while its owner felt a strong urge to melt into the floor.

Nix, sleeping with Joan? The idea that any of his soldiers would be there solely for his...his entertainment troubled him deeply, perhaps even more than the idea that his friend - his married friend - and a woman he respected and admired would be, as Stanhope had so eloquently put it, screwing. But there was really nothing he could say. He knew plenty of men felt like Stanhope did, that the only reason you’d let a woman near an army base was so she could get her skirt up, but he wasn’t one of them. His mother wouldn’t have allowed it.

He took a sip of his water and tried not to look sickened.

On their way back upstairs, finally dismissed for the evening, Dick found his voice again. “What your dad said - about Joan.”

Lewis sighed, looking annoyed. “That’s the sort of man my father is - what he thinks women are for.   Amazing my mother held out as long as she did when he was chasing every bit of office skirt in town. Can you imagine if I’d brought Annie here?”

Dick smiled. “She’d have socked him.”

“Damn right.” Lewis meditated on that a moment. “I’m going to have to tell her I said that, aren’t I? To sell it.”

Dick didn’t know the first thing to say.

Joan didn’t look happy at being called away from her book - she was standing in the doorway with her arms crossed, waiting for Lewis to open up about what it was that was so urgent he’d felt the need to knock on her door at ten o’clock at night.

Well, it wasn’t going to say itself. “He told his father you were sleeping together.”

A sharp crack, and Lewis staggered back from the door, holding his cheek - Joan had slapped him. And it appeared she wasn’t done, either, following him into the hall in her dressing gown and pajama set (silk and sky blue, with long trousers), her fist ready to deal a few more blows if the need arose. “Lewis Nixon, what the hell.”

“I’m sorry, all right, he...he was winding me up and I wanted to get one back on him.”

“And you picked me? After everything I’ve done to get people to take me seriously? And you!” She turned on Dick, and he suddenly felt very small and incredibly ashamed. “You let him.” She fumed at both of them, her eyes flashing between the two as though she weren’t sure who she should be more angry at - Lewis for speaking or Dick for remaining silent. “Lieutenant Sutton would be ashamed of you.” And with that, she turned on her heel and snapped the door shut, leaving them both standing out in the hall.

Lewis stared at the door, feeling his cheek. “Don’t I know it.”

They parted ways at the end of the corridor to their respective rooms, Lewis mumbling something about calling for ice, still gently probing at his cheek. But Dick was still uneasy, and as he climbed into bed between unfamiliar sheets, and listened to the sounds of an unfamiliar house, his mind couldn’t help rolling back to the image of Lew and Joan, wrapped up in each other and a very deep and very passionate kiss, his friend’s hands exploring her body in ways he had not ever realized he himself had wanted to explore it. 

--

“Sleep all right, Miss Warren?” Stanhope leered from his end of the table, slightly rumpled behind his morning paper.

“Very well, sir, thank you.” Joan said, smiling through his clear avoidance of her proper rank. “I’ll have to find your housekeeper and find you where you buy your sheets.” She crossed the room to sit down, her hand tracing the backside of Lewis’s chair, fingers just glancing over his shoulder, the most casual of insinuating gestures, and sat down next to him. “Good morning,” she said, very quietly.

“So we’re still speaking,” Lewis said, leaning over to fill her coffee cup.

“On a technicality,” Joan said quietly, arranging her napkin on her lap. “You’re my ride out.”

“I told him I got this in bed last night,” Lew said, pointing to the hefty bruise on his cheek. “I think he was impressed.”

“You’re damn lucky I’m a good actress and I like you.”

“I do not deserve you, darling dearest.”

“Call me one more cute nickname and I will hit you again.”

Lewis retreated back to his chair and his eggs. “Yes, ma’am.”

Little Book Review: Exit Betty

Author: Grace Livingston Hill.

Publication Date: 1920.

Genre: Christian romance.

Premise: Betty Stanhope, a beautiful but fragile heiress, has reluctantly agreed to marry the less evil of her two stepbrothers to satisfy her late father’s wishes and get her stepmother off her back. When she gets to the church, though, her more evil stepbrother is waiting for her at the altar! After escaping, she’s taken in by Jane Carson, a plucky factory girl from the country. Jane helps her disguise herself and arranges for her to stay with the Carson family in Ohio until they can figure out something else. Betty has a lovely time with Jane’s kindly widowed mother and cheerful younger siblings, but her more evil stepbrother is still looking for her. Can a non-profit lawyer, some Home Alone-style violence, accidental lesbian overtones, and (of course) God get her out of this pickle? Also, is it okay to bob your hair? 

Thoughts: After reading five Grace Livingston Hill novels from various points in her seven-decade-long writing career, I’ve come to expect the following things:

An encouragingly progressive message about how women should be able to marry whom they choose, get an education, and pursue a career, even if their families don’t understand or like it;

Fun contemporary details about clothing, food, pop culture, and technology of the time;

Progressively more overt yet inaccessible religious content (you get characters praying in 1909, obvious Christ figure heroes in 1913, straightforward lessons about keeping the Sabbath in 1920, and scenes where all the characters assure each other that they know what it means to be “crucified with Christ,” even though I am being left in the dark about this, GRACE, in 1947);

Surprisingly eloquent portrayals of the evils of income inequality, unfair labor conditions, and predatory lending practices;

Condescending depictions of most poor/working-class characters and disapproving depictions of most rich characters (only a very specific slice of the middle class is consistently okay); 

Moments of borderline-trashy melodrama that make you wonder if early-twentieth-century girls felt like they were getting away with something; and

A deep ambivalence over whether it’s okay to bob your hair. On one hand, God gave you your hair, but, on the other, Grace thinks it looks cute on some girls?? Thou shalt have a flattering hairstyle for thy hair texture, body type, and age, I suppose.

Here’s what I don’t expect from a Grace Livingston Hill novel:

A scene where a woman gazes rapturously at the heroine, who’s removing her gorgeous satin wedding dress and revealing her lacy undergarments;

A scene where the heroine and the other woman cuddle together in bed after disrobing; or

An ending in which the heroine and the other woman walk down the aisle together wearing wedding dresses (and the other woman is wearing the heroine’s old dress) so they can marry their male love interests who don’t get a lot of page time.

Yet Exit Betty delivers on all fronts, both expected and unexpected. It’s not quite as empowering as GLH’s best novel, Crimson Roses; Betty is more of a blank slate than independent, slightly depressed Marion Warren, and it’s not that surprising that her rebellion against her obviously evil step-family’s patently unreasonable demands meets with narrative approval. (In comparison, Marion refuses to move to Vermont with and provide indefinite free childcare for her brother and sister-in-law, who are merely passive and unpleasant, respectively). Still, Betty has agency despite her damsel-in-distress position and psychologically realistic indecision. The early-twenties details are terrific; I particularly love the scene where Jane and her boyfriend go to see a Mary Pickford move, only to be surprising when a missing-person ad for the escaped Betty appears on the screen. I also enjoyed the social commentary, which mostly appeared through the hero’s struggles as a public interest lawyer (hi!). 

On the less positive note, the melodrama is sometimes jarring. You think the villain is your standard mustache-twirler, only to learn details of his adolescent behavior that would be right at home in Mindhunter. Shortly after this revelation, BAM, GLH hits you with an accidental slapstick scene in which the villain and his henchman are defeated with the help of a pulley system that Betty and the Carsons were using to set up a shower in the shed. The twelve-year-old boy of the family helps out by slashing the villain’s tires and literally throwing a gun into the kitchen. To be fair, the runaway-bride opening prepares you for melodrama, and, much like the unintentional homoeroticism, it keeps things interesting.

Hot Goodreads Take: One reviewer refers to Betty’s flight as “the Bexit,” which delights me every time I think of it.

The ¬Life of Samuel Johnson (2019-04-06)

Excerpted, Chapter 3571

Joachim Elster

 * * * 

By July 1784, many of Johnson’s friends were either dead or gone; Boswell had left for Scotland and Thrale had become engaged to Piozzi. With no one to visit, Johnson returned to London, arriving after an unspecified delay on 16 November 1784. On 20 November 1784, he suffered an attack described variously by friends and physicians as a stroke, fever, or migraine headache distinct form his usual episodes. Unable to walk or write and alone except for his physician, Thomas Warren, and friend, Frances ‘Fanny’ Burney, he remained unusually silent and ‘almost catatonically still’ (per Warren). For the next eight days, he refused any assistance other than water, two meals per day, and a bedpan.

On 28 November 1784, though, a shift: Burney writes, ‘In a sudden Fracas, Dr. Johnson admitted me to join him. The light behind his eyes, absent now some months, is returned, and is perhaps radiant with another great Idea. [...] He cannot hold a pen [...] I will act again as Epistolary.’

This ‘great Idea’ was, of course, to become Johnson’s hulking non-opus, the great and unfinished ¬Dictionary of the English Language. As complement and insult to his extant Dictionary, this was a masterstroke even for him. Its manifestation, however, was predictably tortured and tortuous. Comparisons to the Dictionary (retroactively rendered the ¬¬Dictionary?) are obvious, but nonetheless instructive — where once he was methodical and forward, he now worked in fits, dictating at first to Burney, then to practically anyone who visited. What scanty fragments his fevered dictation survive are predictably scrawled in many hands, spread across myriad collections of friends and patrons, and largely without clear organizational structure.

As if the work’s title was an insufficient outline of his unique project, Johnson furnished a statement to his former financier, Philip Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield:

I shall therefore, since the rules of stile, like those of law, arise from precedents often repeated, collect the testimonies of both sides, and endeavor to discover the decrees of custom, who has so long possessed whether by right or usurpation, the sovereignty of words.

This is nearly identical to a passage in his 1747 Plan of a Dictionary of the English Language, save the glaring omission of two words — “and promulgate’ — sandwiched in the first iteration of the statement between ‘to discover’ and ‘the decrees of custom’. Did Johnson then know his project was impossible? In either case, the ¬Dictionary enjoyed no such clear Plan. And why would it? Johnson’s aims were ultimately the same, if inverted (’perverted’, Boswell said later). His dictations outlined (or inlined) the language just like the earlier project, though in baffling negative. He danced around rather than in English, seeking to document everything not in his Dictionary. Untrod ground to be sure, but entirely efficacious in principle.

Although his method and motive remain unclear, it is perhaps liberating to see this as yet another of his jokes. Certainly, there is an impossible elegance to the project, but it must either be whimsy or delusion, and he apparently remained lucid until his (and the not-book’s) eventual death. That this was all a grim joke, however genius, might be evidenced by his third dictated entry, recorded by Burney herself on 29 November 1784. This fragmentary definition records ‘SHRAP’NEL’ (not a word in English until at least 1800) as best exemplified by the construction of the ¬Dictionary itself. ∎

The Saint: Where the Money Is (6.14, ITC, 1968)

"People tell me you never get involved in anything unless you're interested. So, I made it interesting."

"Now it's getting exceedingly dull, so if you'll excuse me -"

"I haven't finished."

"I have."

"See this? There's ten grand in every pile. English pounds, Swiss or French francs, American dollars; you can have any one you want."

"Mr. Kersh, you have been buying people for too long. So whatever it is you want, the answer is no."

Historia de Pannonica.Thelonious Monk

La baronesa del Jazz, Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild, "amiga, mascota y paladín" de Monk.

Nica fue mecenas de los músicos del bebop, llamados boppers, y ayudó a Monk y a su familia por lo que el inigualable pianista le estuvo muy agradecido.

La vida de esta mujer fue apasionante, de película.Criada con todos los lujos imaginables, tras el suicidio de su padre se casa con el barón Jules von Koenigswarter. Un diplomático del que acabaría cansándose para marcharse a New York y vivir el Jazz desde dentro.

Mujer amante de coches, avionetas, de la marihuana,de la noche... y cómo no ¡del jazz!

Se trasladó a New York donde vivió el Jazz y la noche con intensidad.

En 1955 su "escandalosa" vida alcanzaba el cénit cuando Charlie Parker, Bird, moría en la suite de la baronesa del Jazz del hotel Stanhope.

En el año 63 en directo desde Tokyo el cuarteto de Monk con Butch Warren, Frankie Dunlop y Charlie Rouse tocan su tema Pannonica.

Endeavour: the Series 8 Finale’s Easter Eggs and Homages

https://ift.tt/3ueDoj9

Warning: contains spoilers for Endeavour Series 8 Episode 3 ‘Terminus’.

Fittingly for a drama about a detective with a taste for The Times cryptic crossword, the murder mystery is far from the only game in an episode of Endeavour. As we explore here, the prequel’s films feature nods to pop culture contemporary with the episode’s time-frame, references to Morse’s past and future cases, and of course, the traditional hat tips to the character’s creator Colin Dexter.

Series 8 takes place in 1971 and so winks at Get Carter, Mr Benn, the first Confessions of a Window Cleaner book, all released that in year, among others. Join us in parsing the references and Easter Eggs of Series 8 finale ‘Terminus’, written by Russell Lewis and directed with real horror flair by Kate Saxon.

This isn’t the first time Endeavour fans have seen the book being read by student Richard Blake on the top deck of the Number 33 bus. Its title is ‘Plighted Cunning: The Murders at Shrive Hill House’ and its author is Stephen Fitzowen, the very same character who appeared in Series 2 episode ‘Nocturne’, played by Desmond Barrit. Later in ‘Terminus’, Blake tells the others that Fitzowen also wrote a book on the Tafferton Park Masquerade Ball bloodbath. In this interview, Endeavour creator Russell Lewis explains the character’s origin as a nod to a Dashiell Hammett character Owen Fitzstephen in 1929 novel The Dain Curse.

Endeavour series eight takes place in 1971, which saw the release of the On the Buses film, a feature-length continuation of the popular TV series. References abound in this episode, from the graffitied ‘It’s a Grand Life On the Buses’ poster at the terminus (the film’s theme song was called ‘It’s a Great Life On the Buses’), to shared stops along the Number 33’s route Town’s End, Wellfield Street and Mulberry Circus, to the name of cheeky conductor Les Grant, a namesake of actor Bob Grant, who famously played bus conductor Jack Harper on the television comedy.

The first murder victim is Professor Stanton of Wolsey College, the fictional Oxford college invented by Inspector Morse creator Colin Dexter as a stand-in for Christchurch College, so named because it was founded by Cardinal Wolsey.

Is it a coincidence that the Chipping Compton church outside which Stanton is murdered is named St. Agatha’s, perhaps in honour of the patron saint of crime fiction…? (Not an Easter Egg but perhaps interesting that the murder took place on the 10th of November, dating Morse’s pub newspaper to Armistice Day on the 11th. If remembrance poppies were worn in 1971, you’d think ex servicemen Thursday, Morse, Strange and Bright would all have marked the occasion.)

Continuing a long tradition of Colin Dexter cameos in the Inspector Morse, Lewis, and Endeavour  television series, when Morse is investigating Stanton’s college rooms, the framed photograph of the boy on his desk is of a young Colin Dexter himself, as written about in this article.

When Thursday confronts Endeavour about his drinking, he suggests that the detective sergeant visit “a place down in Sussex run by a fella called Wain. Kind of health farm, very discreet.” That wouldn’t be Joshua Wain whose Sussex health farm ‘Shrublands’ featured in Ian Fleming’s 1961 James Bond novel Thunderball, as well as in two of the series’ films?

Inspector Morse had 33 episodes in total, and ‘Terminus’ is the 33rd Endeavour film, a milestone marked in the shot above not only by the number of the ill-fated bus route, but the large illuminated number 3 in this shot, and the fact that Thursday and Strange’s visit to the bus terminus happens at 3.30pm.

Agatha Christie: Easter Eggs and Symbolism in the BBC Adaptations

By Louisa Mellor

Win Thursday tells Fred that she received the worrying news about their son Sam from “a Captain Stanhope from his unit.” It’s a reference to R.C. Sherriff’s 1928 play Journey’s End, which is set among a group of officers during the First World War. Like Morse, Stanhope’s character struggled with alcohol.

Could Linda Travers – the fake name given by Warren Loomis’ sister to the bus passengers – be in reference to British film actress Linden Travers, who played ‘Mrs’ Todhunter in Hitchcock’s A Lady Vanishes? It seems more likely when you take the names of fellow travellers Percy Walsh and Hilda Bruce-Potter, both also classic British film actors, into account…

Warren Loomis, the name of the young maths genius framed by the Football Pools cabal so they could steal his rightful winnings, is a tribute to Dr Loomis, Michael Myers’ psychiatrist in John Carpenter’s Halloween film franchise, which is largely set in the Illinois town of Haddonfield, another bus route destination in this episode (see timetable above).

Endeavour creator Russell Lewis confirmed on Twitter that the fancy dress element of ‘Terminus’ was inspired by the seventh of Colin Dexter’s Morse novels, The Secret of Annexe 3, which revolved around a masked ball at a hotel. It’s the only of the Morse novels not adapted for television (perhaps because the fancy dress theme ‘The Mystery of the East’ led to some culturally insensitive costumes.)

Agatha Christie may not only have provided the name of the local church in ‘Terminus’, but there were echoes of her novel And Then There Were None in the ‘band of strangers being picked off one by one’ plot. The snooker table scene between Walsh and Yeager in particular, featured in both the 1945 and the 1974 film adaptation, when it was Richard Attenborough and Herbert Lom making a pact over the baize. Student Richard Blake tinkling on the piano in the Tafferton Park drawing room also recalls the same happening in both film adaptations.

‘Terminus’ composer Matthew Slater deliberately designed the episode score to echo that of 1982 horror film The Thing, he confirmed to a fan on Twitter, continuing the homage to director John Carpenter.

On the seating plan for the doomed 1963 Masquerade Ball, just above the Cawdor House reunion table was a very special guest by the name of one C. Dexter. Tell us what else we missed below!

Networking in the Age of Sail

Unlike Army officers, members of the Royal Navy could obtain commissions without purchasing them. This difference created opportunities for the penurious sons of gentlemen like Jane Austen’s father, the Rev. George Austen. Two of his younger sons, Frank and Charles, joined the Navy when they were barely into their teens.

Getting ahead in the Navy was another matter. That required connections and an occasional greased palm. The Austens did not hesitate to use both to advance the cause of their sons.

To help Frank, Mr. Austen in 1794 wrote Warren Hastings, the former governor-general of India and godfather of Jane’s cousin Eliza. Hastings wrote to First Naval Lord Affleck. On Jane’s mother’s side, the Leighs, were two captains, Stanhope and Chamberlayne, who became rear admirals after Frank and Charles entered service. Jane’s cousin, Jane Cooper, married Captain (later Admiral) Thomas Williams, who became Charles’ patron.

Of all the relatives, the strongest connection came through Anne Mathew, the first wife of Jane’s oldest brother, James. Married to James only a few years before her death, she was the daughter of General Edward Mathew. Mathew had two nieces; each sister married a Gambier brother: James, future Lord of the Admiralty; and Samuel, Secretary of the Navy Board.

James Gambier was instrumental in Frank’s early promotions and Frank served him in several captaincies. Gambier was also called upon to help Charles. In a letter of 18-19 December 1798, Jane jokes to Cassandra that Gambier “will be delighted” to have another Austen to help. Jane adds that Charles “would be very right” to address Sir Thomas Williams as well.

A week later, Jane updates Cass to say that Gambier has replied that Charles will be transferred to a larger ship “when a proper opportunity offers & it is judged that he has taken his Turn in a small Ship.” As for Frank, Gambier says: “I can give you the assurance that his promotion is likely to take place very soon.” Later in the letter, Jane adds that Charles has told her that he has directly written Lord Spencer of the Admiralty. Spencer has now received so many applications from the Austens, Jane says, that he “might order some of our heads to be cut off.”

Just two days later, she exults at the success of the letter-writing campaign: “Frank is made.—He was yesterday raised to the Rank of Commander, & appointed to the Petterel sloop … and Lieut. Charles John Austen is removed to the Tamer frigate.” (Jane misspells the name of the Peterel and Tamur. But the navy itself spelled the Peterel four different ways until settling on Peterel. In a later letter, when Charles is reassigned to his earlier ship Endymion under Captain Thomas, she corrects that name to Tamar.)

Through the Gambiers, the family also became connected with Lord Moira, a senior military figure and an influential companion to the future prince regent and king, George IV. Brian Southam, in his 2005 book Jane Austen and the Navy, documents the ways that Moira helped Frank.

The conventional belief is that Charles moved up largely because of Sir Thomas Williams. Stuart Bennett, however, in a 2013 Persuasions article, reveals correspondence at the Huntington Library that also ties Moira to Charles’ advancement. The letters illuminate a quid pro quo in which Henry’s bank lent Moira money in exchange for letters of support to naval authorities. In 1803-4, Moira received loans totaling at least £2,000 from Henry, with Moira’s patronage leading to Charles receiving his first command, the sloop Indian in Bermuda. Another exchange of loans for letters in 1805 attempted to obtain Frank a frigate—the most potentially lucrative ship for winning prize money—but that effort failed.

Eventually, Lord Moira and James Gambier both fell out of favor politically and ceased to be able to provide much help. Also, Moira’s inability to repay the original loans left Henry unable to lend more. His financial negligence was a major cause of Henry’s bankruptcy in 1816, which devastated the finances of the entire Austen family. Conservative Jane lost only £13; most of the £640 she had earned as a writer was invested—where else?—in safe Navy stock paying 5 percent annually.

Most of Frank’s commands involved old, slow vessels, and he didn’t make much prize money from capturing enemy ships. Typical of these was the Canopus (above, by headline), which was so slow it was the last to engage the enemy in a major battle at San Domingo in the West Indies. But once there, Frank’s broadsides dismasted two enemy ships.

Only once did Frank receive a modern ship, the Caledonia, the newest and finest in the fleet, a first-rater with 120 guns. This was the flagship of his patron, now Admiral Lord James Gambier. (On a flagship, the admiral would command the fleet while the flag captain would command the ship.) When Gambier was replaced a few months later, the new admiral took the captaincy from Frank and gave it to his son-in-law.

Jane’s letter of 18-20 April 1811 shows her alarm at his loss: “Saturday.—Frank is superseded in the Caledonia. Sir Edwd Pellew succeeds Lord Gambier … & some Captain of his, succeeds Frank; … what will he do? & where will he live?” Frank ended up in command of the seventy-four-gun Elephant, a solid warship but no prize-taker. It was his last sea command for nearly three decades.

Next month: What happens when the sailor brothers take command.
