I've read this story at least twice, but your wonderful narration really brings it to life. My 9th great grandfather was the Roger Conant (1592-1679) who founded Salem. It's his statue that stands in Salem. Thankfully, that was long before the witch trials. Thank you!

I have heard that Vincent Price was a perfect gentleman, but this could be his son with such delivery and inflection! .....and I love Kuttner, The Graveyard Rats, next, please. 😎

Henry was my great great uncle. I had never thought to look for him on here but I am so glad I did. Thank you for this. It's always fun to feel a stronger connection with our ancestors.

Marshall a lot, too. Oh my, i just realized you used authority - didn't even realize it. LOL Keep safe :}

😳 Abigail Prynne...? ...or was it Prim...? 🤔 ⛓️ Prim made me think of a certain Thomas Browne. ⛓️ Thomas Browne was the man who coined the term "prim" (as well as words like Medicine and Hallucination and many others) ⛓️ Sir Thomas Browne was Shakespeare's equal, -though time has cast him in the shade....and that's a shame ⛓️ Sir Thomas left behind a number of works, all of which are well worth the time of any curious reader with an antiquarian bent; but, for our purposes : ⛓️ HYDRIOTAPHIA - Urn Burial - ⛓️ Yes. Seems to fit the theme of this story, doesn't it? 🤔 ⛓️ I went and found it, but sad to say: Only one version available on line. This is a crime, isn't it? 🤔 ⛓️ Not that the version on line is bad, of course. It's just not as good as it could be, if you see what I'm saying? ⛓️ Some poems and some writers deserve the dignity that history has denied them. Sir Thomas Browne is one. E. E. French, I believe, is the man to do it. -doubt me if you will, but before deciding, go over and listen. See if this poem does not deserve greater dignity. (a humble request) ⛓️ Additionally : NO version of the Gardens of Cyrus 😣 -can it be? -sadly yes. (quoth the raven) ⛓️ Well That was a circuitous trip we have taken, wasn't it? -but not entirely boring now, -was it? 🤔 ⛓️ Think of this as an invitation to become acquainted with Shakespeare's forgotten brother. (if not already known) ⛓️ Best way is to look up A Quincunx for Thomas Browne, and then a listen to Hydriotaphia (17+4 minutes total running time) In so doing, you might just find a friend (so to speak) and someone to stimulate your twilight speculations about life, and meaning, and...lots of things. ⛓️ I hope that I have not been too overbearing. Best of luck with all you do. 🍀👍
