Idle Curiosity

[Simon Wood]

Hi All,

Whilst trawling around to find support for Tumblety ever having met The Duchess of Sutherland in Torquay, I came across this gem from the New York Evening Telegram, 26th November 1888—



The aristocracy lived on another planet.

Regards,

Hi Simon,
What is the relevance of him meeting the duchess?

I am not entirely sure what the correlation is between the aristocracy living on another planet and the newspaper article information. A man receives word that his wife is dead, a reporter arrives at the exact same time he receives word that his wife is dead and starts interrogating his friends as to what he will do, the friend says, essentially, "sod off".

Seems fairly typical of anyone's reaction to a nosy reporter at an inconvenient time, so how does it say something specifically about the aristocracy?

P.S I do realize how the reporter chose to spin her comment and how Simon has taken it, as if returning to England would be the idle curiosity, but considering the person ended the interview immediately afterward, the other interpretation is valid also, that the idle curiosity was the reporters.

The video predates my Casebook education, but it was still fun.
