Flashback to filming Tax Shelter Terrors, where I delivered a lengthy response on something only for the cameraman to point out "Great, but you said 1870s instead of 1970s". Forever stuck in the #c19.

So saying, he led the way out through halls and trances that were weel kenn’d to my gudesire, and into the auld oak parlour; and there was as much singing of profane sangs, and birling of red wine, and speaking blasphemy and sculduddry, as had ever been in Redgauntlet Castle when it was at the blithest.

But, Lord take us in keeping, what a set of ghastly revellers they were that sat around that table! My gudesire kenn’d mony that had long before gane to their place, for often had he piped to the most part in the hall of Redgauntlet. There was the fierce Middleton, and the dissolute Rothes, and the crafty Lauderdale; and Dalyell, with his bald head and a beard to his girdle; and Earlshall, with Cameron’s blude on his hand; and wild Bonshaw, that tied blessed Mr. Cargill’s limbs till the blude sprung; and Dunbarton Douglas, the twice-turned traitor baith to country and king. There was the Bluidy Advocate MacKenyie, who, for his worldly wit and wisdom had been to the rest as a god. And there was Claverhouse, as beautiful as when he lived, with his long, dark, curled locks streaming down to his laced buff-coat, and his left hand always on his right spule-blade, to hide the wound that the silver bullet had made. He sat apart from them all, and looked at them with a melancholy, haughty countenance; while the rest hallooed, and sang, and laughed, that the room rang. But their smiles were fearfully contorted from time to time; and their laugh passed into such wild sounds as made my gudesire’s very nails grow blue, and chilled the marrow in his banes.

They that waited at the table were just the wicked servingmen and troopers, that had done their work and cruel bidding on earth. There was the Lang Lad of the Nethertown, that […]

Steenie Steenson Demanding a Receipt for his Rent form Sir Robert Redgauntlet. Thomas Brown, engraving on paper. From "Six Engravings in Illustration of Redgauntlet. For the Members of the Royal Association for the Promotion of the Fine Arts in Scotland", 1876.

A scene inside an antique chamber with panelled walls and bare floorboards. On the right, a man, soberly dressed in plain seventeenth-century clothes, holds a piece of paper in his right hand and his hat in his left. He gazes left, at a table full of sinister-looking drunken revellers sitting around a table in front of a smoky fireplace. The revellers have frock coats and long curled wigs. One has a bandaged, gouty foot propped up in front of him. Others wear armour or gaudy hats with feathers. A broken bottle and scattered playing cards lie on the floor. Behind the standing man are more revellers, arguing, waving bottles, and slumping drunkenly to the ground.

In Walter Scott’s short story “Wandering Willie’s Tale”, Steenie Steenson needs proof that he has paid his rent. But to get a receipt, Steenie must first find his landlord in Hell…

“When Children Are Asleep” (oil on canvas, 1885), by Thomas Faed (1825–1900). A woman wearing a simple, pale grey Victorian dress and a white bonnet, with a yellow shawl around her shoulders, sits next to a small fireplace, reading a book. She holds the book in her right hand, and holds out her left hand to warm it in the orange glow of the fireplace. Behind her, in a half-open box-bed, two small children are sleeping. Two piles of clothes are on the floor, along with a couple of scraps of paper. Two small pairs of socks are draped over the iron fire-guard in front of the fire.

One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-one 
by the Ettrick Shepherd

O Eighteen hundred thirty one
Thou hast been an intolera-
Ble year for fume, for fudge, and flame
For Burking and for Cholera!

I’m glad that some thine end hast seen;
And may Heav’n make thy follower a
Better year than thou thou hast been
With thy Fumes, Bill, and Cholera!

“Hold, Shepherd! Hold thy impious breath!
It would be most intolera-
Ble thus to laugh at flames and death
At Burking and at Cholera!”

Alas! I neither laugh nor flout
Nor give my tongue a tolera-
Tion either to deride or scout
The Burking, Bill, or Cholera!

I only pray this year may send
To chief, to hind, to scholar a
Relief to drivelling without end
’Bout Burking, Bill, and Cholera!

Farewell, farewell! I see a storm
A rapper and a roller, a-
Pproaching so fiercely ’bout Reform—
Twill burke both Bill and Cholera!

Farewell, farewell! God speed thy flight
Far o’er the regions polar;—a
Long farewell to thee,—jade outright!
Thy Burking, Bill, and Cholera!

James Hogg crammed quite a few hyphenated line breaks into his poem “One Thousand Eight Hundred & Thirty-one”, bidding farewell to the year 1831 – for comic effect, & because not much rhymes with “cholera” (screenshot from Fraser’s Magazine, 1832)

Part of Joseph Goodsir’s diary entry for 19 January 1855 (Gen. 295. (Goodsir 7), Centre for Research Collections, Edinburgh University)

Went with John at 6pm to the Warriston cemetery, where he was to superintend in one of the vaults the opening of a coffin to take the cast mark of a young man buried seven weeks ago - The young man has been a favourite pupil of Sir Wm Hamilton’s (“the most learned he ever had”), has been bedrid for 10 years and had died of consumption - a victim, we suppose, of too much study. The eyes had disappeared, the body was very much emaciated, and th grave clothes were damp and dank. The skin was quite fresh. It was a ghastly and strange spectacle! Two Ladies had come: they were not allowed to see the body. It was a curious - indeed a solemn scene to witness by night - this necropolis, and one of its mouldering inhabitants exposed to one’s eyes. The lights of the city, and all the signs of abounding life exhibited in it, presented a striking contrast as we drove home. Ah! May I remember to how frail and perishable a race I belong, and strive to “redeem the time”.

Question for #C19 people…in Jan 1855 Joseph Goodsir accompanied his brother John to an exhumation (legal!) to, according to Joseph, ‘take the ~cast~ mark’ of a body. Would this be like a death mask? And what is meant by ‘mark’ here?

Photograph taken using my android phone camera of the very fancy gold leaf ceiling featuring coats of arms, at The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle. Cleverly, visitors are encouraged to look at the ceiling using large mirrors...genius idea!  The ceiling was designed by John Bowes in 1879 and brought to life by the phenomenal painting skills of Clement Heaton. 

The image shows a large, hand-held, rectangular mirror with a curved black edge above a beautiful herringbone floor. In the mirror is the reflection of the most tasteful 'ceiling of bling' I've ever seen. Orderly pattern of rectangles of gold each with a different coat of arms as the prominent design. Other touches of colour include russet, burgundy, deep green and antique white.

The Bowes Museum is a worthy entrant for a 'Palace' because it looks like one externally and internally. Had it not been for the philanthropic efforts of its owners, it could very well have become a stately home. 

For further info, do take a look at their website which is really good:
