Marbled Monday

This week for Marbled Monday we return to the work of William Blake as published by the Trianon Press and the William Blake Trust. The poem is Visions of the Daughters of Albion, which was first published by William Blake in 1793 with his own illustrations. This Trianon Press edition was published in 1959 and is a facsimile of the original, meaning it was reproduced as closely as possible, including Arches pure rag paper made to match that which was used by Blake. The paper also features a watermark of Blake's monogram in the lower corner of every sheet.

The edition is quarter-bound in orange leather and orange, brown, and tan marbled paper. The paper is a really interesting pattern, similar to Cockerell's Octopus or Whirl pattern. It is difficult to tell who did the marbling because it isn't stated in the colophon, but it is possibly by French marbler Michel Duval, who the Trianon Press used frequently for their marbled papers. It could also be by Cockerell, but seems less likely judging by the number of mentions of Duval in the finding aid for the Trianon Press Archives at UC Santa Cruz.

I have read some of Goldstone’s book. She really does paint Louis out to be the most unpleasant sort of man doesn’t she? Shrill voice, ugly, fat, stupid, disinterested in his wife. Apathetic about everything really. And only small mentions of his kindness and good qualities. All to set up the Swedish “dreamboat.” He might have been clumsy because he wasn’t a dandy but he was no idiot. And the claim that Fersen fathered MA’s last two children is ridiculous. On what basis?

It's funny that on her website, Goldstone claims that she tried to write about Louis XVI sympathetically, but she essentially falls into the Farr trap of trying to make him Super Unpleasant in order to bolster up the image of Fersen as a dreamy romance novel cover love interest.

"On what basis?"

Goldstone claims that Louis Charles MUST be Fersen's because she creates a fake scenario in which Fersen was the only man who might pregnant her that was near Marie Antoinette for an entire week in June during the week of the Gustav III Petit Trianon fete, and it MUST be in this week in June in which Charles was conceived. Except Goldstone doesn't realize that her claim falls apart--even according to Evelyn Farr, Louis XVI was at this fete. But Goldstone boldly claims that Louis XVI & Marie Antoinette were nowhere near each other during the entire week, including at the fete. Ridiculous and disproved by her own sources.

For Sophie, it's just, shrug! Just because. Or rather, because she claims that a "guard at Versailles" saw Fersen staying the night at Trianon all the time. Though her source on this changes all the time. Sometimes it's "a guard at Versailles told someone else," sometimes it's "a captain of the guard wrote that..." etc. So therefore, because she claims Fersen was there overnight all the time, the child must be Fersen's.

When pressed for this source, it turns out she's referring to the comte de Saint-Priest, who was not a guard at Versailles or captain of the guard, nor did he write that he was told by a guard at Versailles/Trianon that Fersen stayed there overnight. She's mixing up her anecdotes. Saint-Priest said he was informed by a guard at the Tuileries that Fersen was caught wandering around at night... this would be after 1789, after both children were born.

He claimed that Fersen went discreetly, during the day, to the Trianon. He also implied that Fersen was just one of Marie Antoinette's "friends." (edit: Meaning, he was implying she had multiple male lovers.) But of course, since that would make Fersen not her One True Love, it gets ignored. Saint-Priest wasn't at any position to know what was going on at Versailles until 1788, so again even if we take what he says at face value--that's after both children are born.

polhun post ww2 drama

okay so i said i got the like almost 80 year old gossip and here i am to deliver. this centers around the diplomatic bullshittery between poland and hungary initiated by- you guessed it- the ussr. most of the info i got for this gossip talk is from "stosunki polsko-węgierskie w latach 1945-1970" (polish-hungarian relations in 1945-1970) by tadeusz kopyś, so if anyone speaks polish and wants to check it out themself go ahead!! (also if anyone sees any typos pls tell me)

content/trigger warnings: swearing, world war 2 related topics

(I JUST REALIZED THE BOOK IM READING ABOUT IT HAS FUCKING 400+ PAGES HOLY SHIT)

ok so lets start with a bit backstory of how polhun relationship looked like in ww2 from a historical side:

to put it in simplest terms and without all the non-fiction jargon i have to translate to myself: despite being on the opposite sides of the war, hungary helped out polish people immensely; housing, protecting, helping with passport over a 100 thousand people, along with supplying soldiers with ammo and weapons

so yeah keep in mind that hungary helped poland out a fuckton during the war, while on the opposite sides (sic!) and didnt expect much in reperations and shit.

now lets go into a timeline a bit: two important bits of info is that theres first establishing diplomatic relations and then giving an embassy title.

poland established diplomatic relations with countries like yugoslavia, czechoslovakia, bulgaria and romania from around march to august of 1945 (with romania immediately gaining an embassy title!)

poland didnt establish diplomatic relations with hungary until the end of december 1945. and its not until march 1946 until they like Actually established diplomatic relations. and hungary didnt get a polish embassy until almost 10 years later (1954).

so lets compare in months: the first diplomatic relations with any country were first established in march 1945, and bar hungary the latest one was in august same year. meaning not only there was a seven month gap between relations establishment between romania and hungary, it wasnt until a year later since poland started establishing diplomatic relations, that they did so with hungary, their best friend, their brother.

whats also interesting is that there was little to no coverage about hungary in polish press. its all really weird fucking already but wait until we get into the peace conference of paris, then ill tell yall what was actually up.

so the peace conference in paris started on july 29th, 1946 (funfact gdr wouldnt be established until 1949, for anyone curious). hungary was in a tough spot politically, not only as the losing side of the entire war, but also that their whole shtick was (as far as im aware) to get back the land that they lost of the treaty of trianon, so to oversimplify it: its border drama time. they needed all the support they could get, and since most of their neighbours didnt fucking like them, they hoped to get that support from poland. yknow their brother their best friend, that fucker they helped in the war even it could get them fucked over- ya get the gist

hungary: i need you to be on your best behaviour

poland: well, i promised *sideeyes russia*.. other people that id be on my worst behavior, so.. yknow

Not Only Did Poland Offer No Help With The Borders. They Agreed With Czechoslovakia On That Which Wasnt What Hungary Hoped For. They Demanded 20 Fucking Million Dollars Of Reparations. From Hungary.

Let That Sink In.

And you know on what basis? on apparent damages and aggressions that were made by the hungarian army.

as you can probably tell, everyone was baffled at the fucking audacity. polish claims extremely soured the opinion of hungarian folks about poland, the westies were also against it, and the polish charge d'affaires piotr szymański (who apparently doesnt fucking exist on the internet! fucking weird) had to do an interview where he tried to explain the demand for reparations.

and you know whos fault for all the sketchy shit poalnd did towards hungary?

guess.

yeah, it was moscow. aka the ussr, aka the soviets. as my taxi driver yesterday said, the root of all evil /hj.

first of all, moscow did not want poland and hungary to be close because they were afraid it would ruin 'the bonds of the slavic family' or some other bullshit. if yall have read diamond in the rough or oko za oko (which if you havent you totally should!!) by the the ever lovely chessna2 on here/slovenskych on ao3 it translates beautifully into ivan's fixation on his self made family.

because soviets were already balls deep into the polish government by the time 1945 rolled around, every decision had to be backed up by the soviet approval. and it took them a while until they approved establishing the pol-hun diplomatic relations.

and! the soviets were the ones who pushed the polish diplomats to demand the 20 million dollars! and they knew that it would fuck up the relations. one of the diplomats at the conference in their diary wrote that the soviets wanted to ruin polish-hungarian diplomatic relations, they succeeded.

then there was also a fuckton of arguing and political bickering about the objects moved out of poland that after the war ended up in hungary, one of them being a cooling machine that was crucial to mining coal - aka, an overglorified refrigirator. at some point polish side didnt even want all the objects back because they were in horrible condition, they just wanted the money for them.

obviously all of this didnt destroy the polish-hungarian relations forever because c'mon we're better than that, but it was described as the worst time in the history of the nations' friendship. which in of itself is pretty telling if some petty manipulated arguments were the rockiest patch in their friendship.

tldr; ussr with the grip over poland and slowly tightening grip on hungary tried to sabotage their friendship by making polish ambassadors demand 20 million dollars in reparations from hungary, when not only hungary didnt actively try to do any damage, they helped a fuckton of polish people throughout the entire war. other political shenanigans ensue.

Chapter 33-34

CHAPTER XXXIII

WHEN the Falcks and John Pollikop had been arrested and had joined her father in prison, when such more timid rebels as Mungo Kitterick and Harry Kindermann had been scared away from New Underground activities, Mary Greenhill had to take over the control of the Fort Beulah cell, with only Sissy, Father Perefixe, Dr. Olmsted and his driver, and half-a-dozen other agents left, and control it she did, with angry devotion and not too much sense. All she could do was to help in the escape of refugees and to forward such minor anti-Corpo news items as she could discover, with Julian gone.

The demon that had grown within her ever since her husband had been executed now became a great tumor, and Mary was furious at inaction. Quite gravely she talked about assassinations—and long before the day of Mary Greenhill, daughter of Doremus, gold-armored tyrants in towers had trembled at the menace of young widows in villages among the dark hills.

She wanted, first, to kill Shad Ledue who (she did not know, but guessed) had probably done the actual shooting of her husband. But in this small place it might hurt her family even more than they had been hurt. She humorlessly suggested, before Shad was arrested and murdered, that it would be a pretty piece of espionage for Sissy to go and live with him. The once flippant Sissy, so thin and quiet ever since her Julian had been taken away, was certain that Mary had gone mad, and at night was terrified.... She remembered how Mary, in the days when she had been a crystal-hard, crystal-bright sportswoman, had with her riding-crop beaten a farmer who had tortured a dog.

Mary was fed-up with the cautiousness of Dr. Olmsted and Father Perefixe, men who rather liked a vague state called Freedom but did not overmuch care for being lynched. She stormed at them. Call themselves men? Why didn't they go out and do something?

At home, she was irritated by her mother, who lamented hardly more about Doremus's jailing than she did about the beloved little tables that had been smashed during his arrest.

It was equally the blasts about the greatness of the new Provincial Commissioner, Effingham Swan, in the Corpo press and memoranda in the secret N.U. reports about his quick death verdicts against prisoners that made her decide to kill this dignitary. Even more than Shad (who had not yet been sent to Trianon), she blamed him for Fowler's fate. She thought it out quite calmly. That was the sort of thinking that the Corpos were encouraging among decent home-body women by their program for revitalizing national American pride.

Except with babies accompanying mothers, two visitors together were forbidden in the concentration camps. So, when Mary saw Doremus and, in another camp, Buck Titus, in early October, she could only murmur, in almost the same words to each of them, "Listen! When I leave you I'll hold up David—but, heavens, what a husky lump he's become!—at the gate, so you can see him. If anything should ever happen to me, if I should get sick or something, when you get out you'll take care of David—won't you, WON'T you?"

She was trying to be matter-of-fact, that they might not worry. She was not succeeding very well.

So she drew out, from the small fund which her father had established for her after Fowler's death, enough money for a couple of months, executed a power of attorney by which either her mother or her sister could draw the rest, casually kissed David and Emma and Sissy good-bye, and—chatty and gay as she took the train—went off to Albany, capital of the Northeastern Province. The story was that she needed a change and was going to stay near Albany with Fowler's married sister.

She did actually stay with her sister-in-law—long enough to get her bearings. Two days after her arrival, she went to the new Albany training-field of the Corpo Women's Flying Corps and enlisted for lessons in aviation and bombing.

When the inevitable war should come, when the government should decide whether it was Canada, Mexico, Russia, Cuba, Japan, or perhaps Staten Island that was "menacing her borders," and proceed to defend itself outwards, then the best women flyers of the Corps were to have Commissions in an official army auxiliary. The old-fashioned "rights" granted to women by the Liberals might (for their own sakes) be taken from them, but never had they had more right to die in battle.

While she was learning, she wrote to her family reassuringly— mostly postcards to David, bidding him mind whatever his grandmother said.

She lived in a lively boarding-house, filled with M.M. officers who knew all about and talked a little about the frequent inspection trips of Commissioner Swan, by aeroplane. She was complimented by quite a number of insulting proposals there.

She had driven a car ever since she had been fifteen: in Boston traffic, across the Quebec plains, on rocky hill roads in a blizzard; she had made repairs at midnight; and she had an accurate eye, nerves trained outdoors, and the resolute steadiness of a madman evading notice while he plots death. After ten hours of instruction, by an M.M. aviator who thought the air was as good a place as any to make love in and who could never understand why Mary laughed at him, she made her first solo flight, with an admirable landing. The instructor said (among other things less apropos) that she had no fear; that the one thing she needed for mastery was a little fear.

Meantime she was an obedient student in classes in bombing, a branch of culture daily more propagated by the Corpos.

She was particularly interested in the Mills hand grenade. You pulled out the safety pin, holding the lever against the grenade with your fingers, and tossed. Five seconds after the lever was thus loosened, the grenade exploded and killed a lot of people. It had never been used from planes, but it might be worth trying, thought Mary. M.M. officers told her that Swan, when a mob of steel-workers had been kicked out of a plant and started rioting, had taken command of the peace officers, and himself (they chuckled with admiration of his readiness) hurled such a grenade. It had killed two women and a baby.

Mary took her sixth solo flight on a November morning gray and quiet under snow clouds. She had never been very talkative with the ground crew but this morning she said it excited her to think she could leave the ground "like a reg'lar angel" and shoot up and hang around that unknown wilderness of clouds. She patted a strut of her machine, a high-wing Leonard monoplane with open cockpit, a new and very fast military machine, meant for both pursuit and quick jobs of bombing... quick jobs of slaughtering a few hundred troops in close formation.

At the field, as she had been informed he would, District Commissioner Effingham Swan was boarding his big official cabin plane for a flight presumably into New England. He was tall; a distinguished, military-looking, polo-suggesting dignitary in masterfully simple blue serge with just a light flying-helmet. A dozen yes-men buzzed about him—secretaries, bodyguards, a chauffeur, a couple of county commissioners, educational directors, labor directors—their hats in their hands, their smiles on their faces, their souls wriggling with gratitude to him for permitting them to exist. He snapped at them a good deal and bustled. As he mounted the steps to the cabin (Mary thought of "Casey Jones" and smiled), a messenger on a tremendous motorcycle blared up with the last telegrams. There seemed to be half a hundred of the yellow envelopes, Mary marveled. He tossed them to the secretary who was humbly creeping after him. The door of the viceregal coach closed on the Commissioner, the secretary, and two bodyguards lumpy with guns.

It was said that in his plane Swan had a desk that had belonged to Hitler, and before him to Marat.

To Mary, who had just lifted herself up into the cockpit, a mechanic cried, admiringly pointing after Swan's plane as it lurched forward, "Gee, what a grand guy that is—Boss Swan. I hear where he's flying down to Washington to chin with the Chief this morning—gee, think of it, with the Chief!"

"Wouldn't it be awful if somebody took a shot at Mr. Swan and the Chief? Might change all history," Mary shouted down.

"No chance of that! See those guards of his? Say, they could stand off a whole regiment—they could lick Walt Trowbridge and all the other Communists put together!"

"I guess that's so. Nothing but God shooting down from heaven could reach Mr. Swan."

"Ha, ha! That's good! But couple days ago I heard where a fellow was saying he figured out God had gone to sleep."

"Maybe it's time for Him to wake up!" said Mary, and raised her hand.

Her plane had a top of two hundred and eighty-five miles an hour— Swan's golden chariot had but two hundred and thirty. She was presently flying above and a little behind him. His cabin plane, which had seemed huge as the Queen Mary when she had looked up at its wing-spread on the ground, now seemed small as a white dove, wavering above the patchy linoleum that was the ground.

She drew from the pockets of her flying-jacket the three Mills hand grenades she had managed to steal from the school yesterday afternoon. She had not been able to get away with any heavier bomb. As she looked at them, for the first time she shuddered; she became a thing of warmer blood than a mere attachment to the plane, mechanical as the engine.

"Better get it over before I go ladylike," she sighed, and dived at the cabin plane.

No doubt her coming was unwelcome. Neither Death nor Mary Greenhill had made a formal engagement with Effingham Swan that morning; neither had telephoned, nor bargained with irritable secretaries, nor been neatly typed down on the great lord's schedule for his last day of life. In his dozen offices, in his marble home, in council hall and royal reviewing-stand, his most precious excellence was guarded with steel. He could not be approached by vulgarians like Mary Greenhill—save in the air, where emperor and vulgarian alike are upheld only by toy wings and by the grace of God.

Three times Mary maneuvered above his plane and dropped a grenade. Each time it missed. The cabin plane was descending, to land, and the guards were shooting up at her.

"Oh well!" she said, and dived bluntly at a bright metal wing.

In her last ten seconds she thought how much the wing looked like the zinc washboard which, as a girl, she had seen used by Mrs. Candy's predecessor—now what was her name?—Mamie or something. And she wished she had spent more time with David the last few months. And she noticed that the cabin plane seemed rather rushing up at her than she down at it.

The crash was appalling. It came just as she was patting her parachute and rising to leap out—too late. All she saw was an insane whirligig of smashed wings and huge engines that seemed to have been hurled up into her face.

CHAPTER XXXIV

SPEAKING of Julian before he was arrested, probably the New Underground headquarters in Montreal found no unusual value in his reports on M.M. grafting and cruelty and plans for apprehending N.U. agitators. Still, he had been able to warn four or five suspects to escape to Canada. He had had to assist in several floggings. He trembled so that the others laughed at him; and he made his blows suspiciously light.

He was set on being promoted to M.M. district headquarters in Hanover, and for it he studied typing and shorthand in his free time. He had a beautiful plan of going to that old family friend, Commissioner Francis Tasbrough, declaring that he wanted by his own noble qualities to make up to the divine government for his father's disloyalty, and of getting himself made Tasbrough's secretary. If he could just peep at Tasbrough's private files! Then there would be something juicy for Montreal!

Sissy and he discussed it exultantly in their leafy rendezvous. For a whole half hour she was able to forget her father and Buck in prison, and what seemed to her something like madness in Mary's increasing restlessness.

Just at the end of September she saw Julian suddenly arrested.

She was watching a review of M.M.'s on the Green. She might theoretically detest the blue M.M. uniform as being all that Walt Trowbridge (frequently) called it, "The old-time emblem of heroism and the battle for freedom, sacrilegiously turned by Windrip and his gang into a symbol of everything that is cruel, tyrannical, and false," but it did not dampen her pride in Julian to see him trim and shiny, and officially set apart as a squad-leader commanding his minor army of ten.

While the company stood at rest, County Commissioner Shad Ledue dashed up in a large car, sprang up, strode to Julian, bellowed, "This guy—this man is a traitor!" tore the M.M. steering-wheel from Julian's collar, struck him in the face, and turned him over to his private gunmen, while Julian's mates groaned, guffawed, hissed, and yelped.

She was not allowed to see Julian at Trianon. She could learn nothing save that he had not yet been executed.

When Mary was killed, and buried as a military heroine, Philip came bumbling up from his Massachusetts judicial circuit. He shook his head a great deal and pursed his lips.

"I swear," he said to Emma and Sissy—though actually he did nothing so wholesome and natural as to swear—"I swear I'm almost tempted to think, sometimes, that both Father and Mary have, or shall I say had, a touch of madness in them. There must be, terrible though it is to say it, but we must face facts in these troublous days, but I honestly think, sometimes, there must be a strain of madness somewhere in our family. Thank God I have escaped it!—if I have no other virtues, at least I am certainly sane! even if that may have caused the Pater to think I was nothing but mediocre! And of course you are entirely free from it, Mater. It's you that must watch yourself, Cecilia." (Sissy jumped slightly; not at anything so grateful as being called crazy by Philip, but at being called "Cecilia." After all, she admitted, that probably was her name.) "I hate to say it, Cecilia, but I've often thought you had a dangerous tendency to be thoughtless and selfish. Now Mater: as you know, I'm a very busy man, and I simply can't take a lot of time arguing and discussing, but it seems best to me, and I think I can almost say that it seems wise to Merilla, also, that, now that Mary has passed on, you should just close up this big house, or much better, try to rent it, as long as the poor Pater is—uh—as long as he's away. I don't pretend to have as big a place as this, but it's ever so much more modern, with gas furnace and up-to-date plumbing and all, and I have one of the first television sets in Rose Lane. I hope it won't hurt your feelings, and as you know, whatever people may say about me, certainly I'm one of the first to believe in keeping up the old traditions, just as poor dear old Eff Swan was, but at the same time, it seems to me that the old home here is a little on the dreary and old-fashioned side—of course I never COULD persuade the Pater to bring it up to date, but—Anyway, I want Davy and you to come live with us in Worcester, immediately. As for you, Sissy, you will of course understand that you are entirely welcome, but perhaps you would prefer to do something livelier, such as joining the Women's Corpo Auxiliary—"

He was, Sissy raged, so damned KIND to everybody! She couldn't even stir herself to insult him much. She earnestly desired to, when she found that he had brought David an M.M. uniform, and when David put it on and paraded about shouting, like most of the boys he played with, "Hail Windrip!"

She telephoned to Lorinda Pike at Beecher Falls and was able to tell Philip that she was going to help Lorinda in the tea room. Emma and David went off to Worcester—at the last moment, at the station, Emma decided to be pretty teary about it, though David begged her to remember that they had Uncle Philip's word for it that Worcester was just the same as Boston, London, Hollywood, and a Wild West Ranch put together. Sissy stayed to get the house rented. Mrs. Candy, who was going to open her bakery now and who never did inform the impractical Sissy whether or no she was being paid for these last weeks, made for Sissy all the foreign dishes that only Sissy and Doremus cared for, and they not uncheerfully dined together, in the kitchen.

So it was Shad's time to swoop.

He came blusteringly calling on her, in November. Never had she hated him quite so much, yet never so much feared him, because of what he might do to her father and Julian and Buck and the others in concentration camps.

He grunted, "Well, your boy-friend Jule, that thought he was so cute, the poor heel, we got all the dope on his double-crossing us, all right! HE'LL never bother you again!"

"He's not so bad. Let's forget him.... Shall I play you something on the piano?"

"Sure. Shoot. I always did like high-class music," said the refined Commissioner, lolling on a couch, putting his heels up on a damask chair, in the room where once he had cleaned the fireplace. If it was his serious purpose to discourage Sissy in regard to that anti-Corpo institution, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, he was succeeding even better than Judge Philip Jessup. Sir William Gilbert would have said of Shad that he was so very, very prolet-ari-an.

She had played for but five minutes when he forgot that he was now refined, and bawled, "Oh, cut out the highbrow stuff and come on and sit down!"

She stayed on the piano stool. Just what would she do if Shad became violent? There was no Julian to appear melodramatically at the nickoftime and rescue her. Then she remembered Mrs. Candy, in the kitchen, and was content.

"What the heck you snickerin' at?" said Shad.

"Oh—oh I was just thinking about that story you told me about how Mr. Falck bleated when you arrested him!"

"Yeh, that was comical. Old Reverend certainly blatted like a goat!"

(Could she kill him? Would it be wise to kill him? Had Mary meant to kill Swan? Would They be harder on Julian and her father if she killed Shad? Incidentally, did it hurt much to get hanged?)

He was yawning, "Well, Sis, ole kid, how about you and me taking a little trip to New York in a couple weeks? See some high life. I'll get you the best soot in the best hotel in town, and we'll take in some shows—I hear this Callin' Stalin is a hot number— real Corpo art—and I'll buy you some honest-to-God champagne wine! And then if we find we like each other enough, I'm willing for us, if you are, to get hitched!"

"But, Shad! We could never live on your salary. I mean—I mean of course the Corpos ought to pay you better—mean, even better than they do."

"Listen, baby! I ain't going to have to get along on any miserable county commissioner's salary the rest of my life! Believe me, I'm going to be a millionaire before very long!"

Then he told her: told her precisely the sort of discreditable secret for which she had so long fished in vain. Perhaps it was because he was sober. Shad, when drunk, reversed all the rules and became more peasant-like and cautious with each drink.

He had a plan. That plan was as brutal and as infeasible as any plan of Shad Ledue for making large money would be. Its essence was that he should avoid manual labor and should make as many persons miserable as possible. It was like his plan, when he was still a hired man, to become wealthy by breeding dogs—first stealing the dogs and, preferably, the kennels.

As County Commissioner he had not merely, as was the Corpo custom, been bribed by the shopkeepers and professional men for protection against the M.M.'s. He had actually gone into partnership with them, promising them larger M.M. orders, and, he boasted, he had secret contracts with these merchants all written down and signed and tucked away in his office safe.

Sissy got rid of him that evening by being difficult, while letting him assume that the conquest of her would not take more than three or four more days. She cried furiously after he had gone—in the comforting presence of Mrs. Candy, who first put away a butcher knife with which, Sissy suspected, she had been standing ready all evening.

Next morning Sissy drove to Hanover and shamelessly tattled to Francis Tasbrough about the interesting documents Shad had in his safe. She did not ever see Shad Ledue again.

She was very sick about his being killed. She was very sick about all killing. She found no heroism but only barbaric bestiality in having to kill so that one might so far live as to be halfway honest and kind and secure. But she knew that she would be willing to do it again.

The Jessup house was magniloquently rented by that noble Roman, that political belch, Ex-Governor Isham Hubbard, who, being tired of again trying to make a living by peddling real estate and criminal law, was pleased to accept the appointment as successor to Shad Ledue.

Sissy hastened to Beecher Falls and to Lorinda Pike.

Father Perefixe took charge of the N.U. cell, merely saying, as he had said daily since Buzz Windrip had been inaugurated, that he was fed-up with the whole business and was immediately going back to Canada. In fact, on his desk he had a Canadian time-table.

It was now two years old.

Sissy was in too snappish a state to stand being mothered, being fattened and sobbed over and brightly sent to bed. Mrs. Candy had done only too much of that. And Philip had given her all the parental advice she could endure for a while. It was a relief when Lorinda received her as an adult, as one too sensible to insult by pity—received her, in fact, with as much respect as if she were an enemy and not a friend.

After dinner, in Lorinda's new tea room, in an aged house which was now empty of guests for the winter except for the constant infestation of whimpering refugees, Lorinda, knitting, made her first mention of the dead Mary.

"I suppose your sister did intend to kill Swan, eh?"

"I don't know. The Corpos didn't seem to think so. They gave her a big military funeral."

"Well, of course, they don't much care to have assassinations talked about and maybe sort of become a general habit. I agree with your father. I think that, in many cases, assassinations are really rather unfortunate—a mistake in tactics. No. Not good. Oh, by the way, Sissy, I think I'm going to get your father out of concentration camp."

"What?"

Lorinda had none of the matrimonial moans of Emma; she was as business-like as ordering eggs.

"Yes. I tried everything. I went to see Tasbrough, and that educational fellow, Peaseley. Nothing doing. They want to keep Doremus in. But that rat, Aras Dilley, is at Trianon as guard now. I'm bribing him to help your father escape. We'll have the man here for Christmas, only kind of late, and sneak him into Canada."

"Oh!" said Sissy.

A few days afterward, reading a coded New Underground telegram which apparently dealt with the delivery of furniture, Lorinda shrieked, "Sissy! All you-know-what has busted loose! In Washington! Lee Sarason has deposed Buzz Windrip and grabbed the dictatorship!"

"Oh!" said Sissy.

Sure, here's a condensed timeline of Hungarian history with some key details:

- **9th Century:** The Hungarian tribes settle in the Carpathian Basin, establishing the foundations of the Hungarian state.

- **1000:** Stephen I becomes the first King of Hungary, converting the nation to Christianity and fostering closer ties with Western Europe.

- **1241-1242:** The Mongol invasion devastates Hungary, causing significant destruction and loss of life.

- **14th-16th Century:** Hungary experiences conflicts with the Ottoman Empire, leading to the Battle of Mohács in 1526, where Hungary suffers a major defeat and parts of the country fall under Ottoman control.

- **16th-17th Century:** The Habsburgs gain control over Hungary after centuries of Ottoman occupation, leading to a struggle for independence.

- **1848-1849:** The Hungarian Revolution seeks to gain more autonomy from the Habsburgs, but is eventually suppressed by Russian intervention.

- **1867:** The Austro-Hungarian Compromise establishes the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, giving Hungary greater autonomy.

- **World War I:** Hungary is on the losing side as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, resulting in the Treaty of Trianon which leads to significant territorial losses.

- **1920s-1930s:** Hungary experiences political instability, economic challenges, and the rise of far-right movements.

- **World War II:** Hungary aligns with Nazi Germany, participating in the invasion of the Soviet Union. However, as the tide of war turns, Hungary is occupied by the Soviets.

1. **Soviet Occupation of Hungary (1944-1945):** Near the end of World War II, as Soviet forces were advancing towards Central Europe, Hungary was caught in the conflict. In 1944, the Soviet Union launched a military offensive into Hungary, which led to the eventual occupation of the country. After the war, Hungary fell under Soviet influence as part of the Eastern Bloc, resulting in a communist government being established. This period marked a significant phase in Hungary's history under Soviet influence, rather than a full-fledged war between Hungary and Russia.

2. **1956 Hungarian Revolution:** In 1956, a nationwide uprising occurred in Hungary against the Soviet-backed communist government. While this wasn't a war between Hungary and Russia, it involved Hungarian citizens rebelling against the Soviet-imposed regime. The Soviet Union intervened militarily to suppress the revolution, leading to a violent conflict that resulted in loss of life and suffering for the Hungarian people.

- **1956:** The Hungarian Revolution against Soviet rule is brutally suppressed.

- **1989:** The fall of communism in Hungary marks the beginning of democratic reforms and a move towards a market economy.

- **2004:** Hungary becomes a member of the European Union.

- **2010s:** The Fidesz party gains power and leads controversial constitutional changes, raising concerns about democracy and human rights.

Hungary experienced significant political developments under the leadership of the Fidesz party and its leader, Viktor Orbán. Here are some key events and trends during this period:

1. **Fidesz Consolidation of Power (2010-2014):** In the 2010 parliamentary elections, Fidesz won a two-thirds majority, allowing them to implement constitutional changes and enact sweeping reforms. The new constitution, introduced in 2011, faced criticism for concentrating power in the hands of the ruling party.

2. **Media and Judiciary Changes:** During this period, Fidesz made changes to the media landscape and the judiciary, raising concerns about press freedom and the independence of the judiciary. Critics argued that these changes undermined democratic checks and balances.

3. **2014 Elections and Migrant Crisis:** Fidesz won the 2014 elections, securing another two-thirds majority. Hungary gained international attention during the European migrant crisis in 2015 when it constructed a border fence to stop migrants from entering the country. The government's stance on migration drew both support and criticism.

4. **Re-Election and Controversies:** Fidesz won the 2018 elections, maintaining its two-thirds majority. The government faced criticism for changes to electoral laws, concerns about freedom of the press, and perceived erosion of democratic norms.

5. **COVID-19 Pandemic Response:** Like many countries, Hungary grappled with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government declared a state of emergency, leading to debates about the extent of executive power and the handling of the crisis.

6. **LGBTQ+ Rights and Social Issues:** Hungary's government introduced laws and policies that were criticized for their impact on LGBTQ+ rights and gender equality. For instance, a 2020 law effectively banned transgender and intersex individuals from legally changing their gender.

7. **European Union Relations:** Hungary's political direction led to tensions between the Hungarian government and the European Union (EU). The EU expressed concerns about the state of democracy and rule of law in Hungary, leading to debates about the country's adherence to EU values.

8. **2021: LGBTQ+ Content Ban and Political Climate:** In 2021, Hungary passed a law banning the depiction of homosexuality and transgender issues to minors, sparking widespread criticism both domestically and internationally. The law was seen as targeting LGBTQ+ rights. The political climate in Hungary remained polarized, with ongoing debates about democratic institutions and values.

It's important to note that this is a high-level overview, and the political landscape in Hungary during this time was complex and multifaceted. Different perspectives exist on the changes and events that occurred, reflecting both domestic and international concerns about democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

HOT New Album Fridays: Benny Sings - Young Hearts

Benny Sings has us bouncing in our chairs with GLEE! Young Hearts is a fresh, new, and exciting pop album by an artist that you can tell truly loves what he does. He sings with passion, vigor and playfulness on Young Hearts and leaves our hearts pumping with joy. The album touches on 70s pop, soft pop, and sounds like a mix between Paul McCartney and Joe Jackson. We are thrilled to share this monumental new pop album with you. Check out the album below and full press release: Full Press Release: Today marks the release of Benny Sings' new album Young Hearts, via Stones Throw Records. The album features his recently released bossa nova-inspired track, "Pyjamas," which includes vocals from Remi Wolf and a music video directed by her. The two recently spoke to each other for The Talkhouse, which described Benny as "making the sort of breezy songs that easily get stuck in your head." For Benny Sings, making music isn’t just an art; he sees it as one of the lines of work that make the world go round. He says, “I wanted to be like a baker, I wanted to be like a paver. Everybody works hard to make the world a better place, and I would do the songs.” For nearly twenty years he’s been perfecting that work, culminating in Young Hearts. Young Hearts is Benny Sings’ first record made with a single producer — beatmaker-to-the-stars Kenny Beats. The pair connected over DM, after which Kenny invited Benny to work from his home studio in L.A., where they would jam and write during the day. They’d riff off each other, sharing stories, melodies, and adlibs with collaborators Kenny invited over, relaxing into the anything-goes vibe. Whereas Benny’s always written autobiographical songs, on Young Hearts he looks outward, creating a fictional cast of lovable losers – the kind of bumbling, luckless eccentrics you might find on a lost Steely Dan record. On “Pyjamas” with Remi Wolf, Benny sings as a guy who’d rather watch a documentary than jump into the sack; “The World” captures a '70s nostalgic feel, about “living it up” wherever you are; “The Only One” describes an obsessive romantic who daydreams about a woman unaware of his existence, and the title track imagines a pair of young lovers-turned-addicts chasing pleasure through drugs over an FM-radio piano line. “The antihero is at the heart of my music,” Benny explains. He has enormous empathy for these hapless folks — because he sees himself as one. “It’s who I am at the core. Soft. I hope that someone can listen to these songs and think, ‘I’m not Superman but maybe I can still save the day’.” Benny Sings Tour Dates: March 24 - Roeselare, Belgium @ TRAX March 25 - Amsterdam, Netherlands @ Paradiso March 28 - London, UK @ KOKO March 29 - Paris, France @ Le Trianon March 30 - Berlin, Germany @ Lido April 5 - Rotterdam, Netherlands @ Maassilo April 6 - Utrecht, Netherlands @ Tivoli Vredenburg June 9 - Søndermarken, Denmark @ Syd For Solen July 9 - Rotterdam, Netherlands @ North Sea Jazz Festival July 14 - Meco Sesimbra, Portugal @ Super Bock Super Rock Read the full article

Trianon Palace Hotel near Paris secretly bought by the Moonies in 1984 for approx. $15million

It is difficult to convert 1984 French francs to US dollars. The Trianon operation cost the UC nearly 90 million francs, including the 35 million paid almost entirely in cash for the buyback of the shares. (France now uses the euro.)

Approximate translation from the French:

from Moon’s Empire by Jean-François Boyer

[Bo Hi Pak instigated the purchase. Funds came from secret bank accounts held in Gran Cayman, one may have been called Kami. The Trianon Palace hotel purchase was hidden behind a company called Solamerica.]

Extracts from Chapter 22:

...

From the office that Bo Hi Pak has for provided him, very close to him in the Manhattan building which houses the staffs of the press group and the political branches of the Church, José Maria Chavez also oversees more discreet operations.

The acquisition of new real estate in France on behalf of the Unification Movement has thus occupied him throughout the last few months.

Just as Georges Catois had been entrusted with the mission of discreetly negotiating the property of the former RPR deputy of Evry Michel Boscher, José Maria Chavez is responsible for renting the apartment on Place André-Malraux as discreetly as possible and to acquire... the world famous Trianon Palace [Hotel] in Versailles.

How did the Unification Church Family choose this hotel? Which partners – accomplices or abused – allowed the project once again, to move forward in disguise? The history of these negotiations reveals the extent of CAUSA’s network of friendships and that of its “fellow travellers”. For the theoreticians of the Church, who seem to be inspired in every way — the better to fight it! — of the mechanistic and maneuvering representation that they have of international communism, in effect qualify their non-Moonist allies as ‘fellow travellers’!

The screen in front of the purchase of the Trianon Palace

Passing through Paris at the end of 1983, at the end of the study trip on pacifism which had led him to Europe, Colonel Bo Hi Pak informed a few large real estate agencies that he was interested in a private mansion or, possibly a châteaux in the inner suburbs. He will not bring the project to a conclusion because in the meantime José Maria Chavez has been put on the hunt.

...

Let’s summarize. The main interlocutor of José Maria Chavez and Yves de Kergal in the Trianon Palace affair is not unknown to the French Moonists. He is a one-man partner and leader of a group that, through multiple channels, cooperates with CAUSA.

The purchase proposal submitted to the owners of the Trianon is timely. The exploitation of the Palace brings in little. Only the sale can make the initial investment profitable. In addition, Jean-Pierre Peyraud needs fresh money. He and Bruno Bertez indeed plan to launch in 1985 a major economic daily newspaper – the Tribune de l’économie – which everything suggests will be very expensive...

The sale of the shares of the Trianon – valued at 35 million francs – will bring “cash”. Bruno Bertez will confess this a little later in front of his works council. But the negotiation will be long and tight because Jean-Pierre Peyraud wants to both make the most of the sale and keep some shares of the hotel.

Paradoxically, this desire to continue to sit on the board of directors of the Trianon alongside two CAUSA officials — José Maria Chavez and Yves de Kergal — suits the Movement well politically. It allows the Unification Church Family to strengthen links, hitherto purely ideological, with a press group that willingly welcomes the prose of the most orthodox French anti-Soviets.

Everything therefore militates for the acquisition of the Palace at Versailles.

For a few million dollars

It remains to set up the financial package that preserves the anonymity of the “inspiration” of the transaction: the Unification Movement.

José Maria Chavez, his son, his daughter and his brother therefore set up a company under American law called Solamerica, which acquired the hotel. The Unification Church Family claims that they have not invested a penny in it and that Enrique Chavez has sufficient fortune to embark on a financial operation of this magnitude. The fact that no recognized subsidiary of the Church, no avowed Moonist, is a shareholder of Solamerica is unfortunately not enough to establish that the Unification Church Family did not buy the hotel. The whole history of the multinational indeed pleads for the opposite thesis!

Let us remember: when the very Catholic Julian Safi and a few accomplices totally unknown to the financial world seized the Victoria Plaza in Montevideo and the Banco de Credito in Uruguay, they did not shout from the rooftops that the funds were provided to them by Moon’s “Finance Minister”, Takeru Kamiyama, through an offshore bank in Gran Cayman!

When Georges Catois set up the real estate company La Restauration from scratch to buy the Evry property on behalf of the AUCM, he did not present himself to the banks as the main representative of the Unification Church Family. Admittedly, he is not a Moonist, but his wife and son are. And the 1985 directory of alumni of the Ecole Centrale – of which he was a student – ​​confirms to us that for several years he has chaired the French subsidiary of the International Oceanic Company, the multinational Moonist fishing company!

The French authorities will not suspect, in any case, that CAUSA is hiding behind Solamerica. Ambassador Chavez will intervene little in the negotiation. The company has indeed mandated that Baron de Kergal will carry out the case with the skill and discretion he has demonstrated on other occasions.

He first takes care of obtaining the necessary authorizations. The green light from the Ministry of Finance and the Secretariat for Tourism is essential for such a transaction. Yves de Kergal obtains them without firing a shot. “I personally met the chief of staff of the Secretary of State for Tourism. He has shown himself to be very well disposed towards foreign investment. Finances weren’t a problem either. Of course, the Treasury demanded credit certificates from Solamerica. The Chemical Bank of New York provided them. For the record, this bank manages the main account of the Unification Church in the United States...

In six months, everything is settled. The funds will pass through the Banque de Suez. On December 11, 1984, the board of directors of the Trianon Palace co-opted Yves de Kergal, José Maria Chavez, Enrique Chavez and Olivier Giscard d’Estaing as new members. On December 27, he ratified the majority stake of Solamerica, which acquired 66% of the hotel’s shares. Jean-Pierre Peyraud kept one third of the shares.

The system is completed by the entry on the board of a specialist in the hotel industry, Roger Godino, promoter of the ski resort of Les Arcs, friend of Olivier Giscard d’Estaing and Baron Secondât de Montesquieu, formerly linked to the OAS, now international director of Moët Hennessy, introduced to the Trianon by Yves de Kergal.

As planned by José Maria Chavez, even before the purchase offer had been formulated, Olivier Giscard d’Estaing was elected chairman of the board of directors. This promotion will bring him a lot of trouble. Le Canard enchaîné discovers that “Brother Giscard is in business with the Moon gang”. A Uruguayan journalist, Alejandro Alem, a collaborator with the author, is also on the track. The rumor soon made the rounds of Paris and the left-wing press seized on it. The choice of a big name to “cover” the affair, very much in the tradition of “screen” operations carried out by the Unification Church Family, turns against the Unification Movement.

Cornered, the brother of the former president replies to the Canard that “it is completely false to say that Mr. José Chavez is known for his responsibilities at the head of CAUSA-Moon. It must be, he adds, a confusion with Ambassador Sanchez, an American of Mexican origin.

A surprising reaction! How can Olivier Giscard d’Estaing know that Philip Sanchez — whom he has rarely met — is president of CAUSA-USA, and not know that Chavez — whom he has been seeing for years — is president of the CAUSA International advisory committee? Chavez reaffirms to him, in any case, by mail, that he exercises no “executive or administrative” function within the Unification Movement.

Le Canard having brought him proof of the links between his friend and the Unification Church family, it informed him on July 8, 1985, more than six months after the acquisition of the hotel, of “his unpleasant surprise”.

At the time when the President of the Trianon made this answer, his hotel was preparing to host an “Introductory seminar to the Unification Movement” and, in the process, a symposium, organized by the World Peace Academy, the equivalent of the World Media Conference in university circles... The work will continue from August 25 to 31. The expenses of the guests — intellectuals from North Africa — will be fully covered by the World Peace Academy. The heads of the organization who negotiate with the hotel are: Walter Gottesman, ex-founder of the Unification Church of New York, and Didier Rias, pillar of the French Unification Church Family!

Since acquiring the hotel, Olivier Giscard d’Estaing has had several opportunities to discuss these issues with his partners. José Maria Chavez is in Paris twice a month. He went down to the Trianon and worked on the Place André-Malraux with the Baron de Kergal. All three meet often and, despite the looming scandal, the ex-president’s brother decides to keep his job. Yves de Kergal strongly advises him not to have any more controversy with the press. For the Moonists, the case is closed. Solamerica alone controls much more than half of the shares.

It is now a question of renovating the hotel to make it the long-awaited conference center. “At the very least, the work undertaken will cost 50 or 60 million heavy francs,” admits one of the hotel managers. The Trianon operation, once completed, will therefore have cost the Unification Movement a fortune: nearly 90 million francs, including the 35 million paid almost entirely in cash for the buyback of the shares.

The Unification Church Family must have great ambitions for France and for Europe!

[Bought by the Moonies in 1984 then] “Bought in 1990 by a foreign company, the hotel was renovated. A new building, the "Pavillon du Trianon", was also built and a conference center was inaugurated. A spa with a 200 m2 swimming pool was also fitted out for this occasion, making the establishment one of the first hotels in France to have a spa.”

Marbled Monday

We return to Trianon Press's publications of William Blake's works this week, this time taking a look at William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job. It is similar to other Trianon Press works we have shared, with a leather and marbled paper half-binding. These two volumes slide into a single slipcase to protect them, which is part of the reason the marbling is in such good shape. These are part of a set with a group of colored plates of Blake's illustrations for the Book of Job that comes in its very own slipcase.

The marbling is a nonpareil pattern, one of the most foundational patterns in marbling. Nonpareil uses usually a stone or Turkish pattern base followed by a gelgit (zigzag) pattern that is ultimately combed to create the small lines or arches seen in the final pattern. This example uses shades of blue and tan to create the pattern.

Louis Vuitton had observed that the HJ Cave Osilite trunk might be simply stacked. In 1858, Vuitton introduced his flat-topped trunks with Trianon canvas, making them light-weight and airtight. Before the introduction of Vuitton's trunks, rounded-top trunks have been used, usually to promote water runoff, and thus could not be stacked. Louis Vuitton constantly reinvents classic fashions and looks to the brand’s archive for inspiration. Some fashions have been produced for greater than a hundred years, whereas new styles incorporate traditional models and motifs to indicate the evolution of the brand. wikipedia handbags The Trunk clutch is a miniaturised model of the piece that first made Monsieur Vuitton a household name. Arriving in Paris at age sixteen, Vuitton turned an apprentice to a field manufacturer. In his early 30s he designed a flat-topped trunk that could probably be stacked — a radical innovation, as hitherto trunks had featured curved lids. Hired as the private box-maker and packer to Eugénie, Empress of France, Vuitton grew to become the journey goods producer of choice among the aristocracy. In June 2020, the model collaborated with Japanese designer Nigo x Virgil Abloh capsule collection.

Plesner had created a satirical illustration, "Simple Living", depicting a malnourished baby holding a designer dog and a designer bag, and used it on T-shirts and posters to raise funds for the charity "Divest for Darfur". On 25 March, the courtroom ruled in favour of LV that the image was a clear infringement of copyright. Despite the ruling, Plesner continued to use the image, arguing creative freedom, and posted copies of the cease-and-desist order on her website. On 15 April 2008, Louis Vuitton notified Plesner of the lawsuit being brought in opposition to her. Louis Vuitton is probably considered one of the most counterfeited brands within the trend world due to its image as a standing symbol. Marc Jacobs additionally commemorated a previous collaboration, designed by Stephen Sprouse. This assortment, initially launched in 2001, featured daring print that looked like graffiti, over the standard canvas.
