A heavy cloak and mittens, for when it got cold at sea. She’d memorized the list of things she needed to take because she didn’t dare set them forth on paper, lest she be discovered. She’d already marked the gowns she’d be taking-good, serviceable ones that wouldn’t set her apart as too wealthy. On the night when Theresa Worth left London-and England-for good, she packed in the dark. This time, though… This time, she didn’t know if she’d ever return. The last time she’d thought of running away, she’d had a bit of food and nothing like a plan. It was easy enough-she ruined her dresses often enough that they would never wonder why one had disappeared. To figure out how to remove money from the trust that had been set up for her without her sister’s knowledge, to creep down to the shops and sell some of the sparkling gowns that they’d made for her. It had taken her week after careful week to research passage on ships. If she’d acted as quickly as she wanted, she would have been suspected. T heresa had not dared to proceed too swiftly.

In one respect King Edward II and Mortimer are of the same fibre both are proud of their station in life. The character of Mortimer is of a different cast altogether. The king is without power and is one who considers it to be a privilege to be honoured as such. These two characters have been conceived in a diametrically opposite way. He is the type of man who would beard the lion in his own den, and he does it, though in the second round of his character rather cunningly, ignoring even the public opinion which might be there casting aspersions on him. The ferments in him are, obviously, the ferments of the most rebellious spirit. Right from the beginning he is seen contradicting the king. Historically too he is a very powerful baron, one who ruled England till October 1330. His one hand readily goes to the hilt of the sword as if by reflex action. He has been delineated as the most spirited creature in the play, one who has the traits of leadership. The character of Mortimer Junior has been drawn with a firm hand by Marlowe. Gerald Durrell was born in Jamshedpur, India, in 1925. My Family and Other Animals was intended to embrace the natural history of the Greek island of Corfu, but ended up as a delightful account of his family's experiences that were, according to him, "rather like living in one of the more flamboyant and slapstick comic operas."Īs a 10-year-old boy, Gerry left England for Corfu with "all those items that I thought necessary to relieve the tedium of a long journey: four books on natural history, a butterfly net, a dog, and a jam-jar full of caterpillars all in imminent danger of turning into chrysalids." Durrell's descriptions of his family and its many eccentric hangers-on (he stresses that "all the anecdotes about the island and the islanders are absolutely true") are highly entertaining, as is the procession of toads, scorpions, geckos, ladybugs, glowworms, octopuses, the puppies Widdle and Puke, and the Magenpies. As a self-described "champion of small uglies," English writer Gerald Durrell (1925-1995) devoted his life to writing and the preservation of wildlife, from the Mauritius pink pigeon to the Rodriques fruit bat. |
