R.L.S., H.J., & E.H.: a questions of sources and results

[David Orsam]

Isnīt it sufficient with the "explanations" given by the attackers "Henry Flower", "David Orsam" and "GUT"?

I, for one, haven't put forward any explanation so this remark is very strange. Obviously Pierre is just evading a simple, reasonable and polite question.

Henry has, of course, nailed it. And when Pierre saw that one of the characters in the play was Sir Thomas White, the Lord Mayor of London, he realised he had found was the conclusive proof he was looking for.

Queen Mary, Princess Elizabeth and the Lord Mayor all in one play!! It could only mean one thing. Gogmagog is Jack the Ripper!

[Henry Flower]

I've been included as one if the attackers, at least I'm in good company.

How dare you, sir! I am an amoral animal.

[Mayerling]

Why not. (You might get a tax deduction anyway).

Doesn't take much for that one to claim to be an expert on anything.

Still can't believe he claims to be a great historian

Silly GUT, I can't. I don't know the secret of the power for the motors of the "Nautilus" (Verne and "Nemo's" "Nautilus", not the actual one that is now at Groton's Submarine museum in Connecticut, which I have visited - that's a nuclear powered one). '

The limits to my knowledge of how to power pre-Holland and Lake subs is that of the U.S.S. Turtle (Bushnell's Revolutionary craft), and the C.S.S. Hunley (now found and being restored in Charleston), both of which were powered by men using cranks. Captain Nemo's men had some electricity, but the motors were run by something that wasn't quite explained.

I take that as confirmation that I was more or less right. Thanks Pierre. Am adding you to my buddy list

I see the beat goes on...

Happy (Belated) New Year, all.

Back at ya.

Belatedly, Happy New Year to you too!

[GUT]

Yes he might. And from my reading Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues" maybe I should claim to be an expert on building privately owned, palatial submarines!

Perhaps, but the enquiry was directed to you. This was not an inquiry into what your central theory is, but just how exactly you ended up acquainted with this play by Tennyson. Telling me won't damage your control over your own work, it just informs me about your reading a bit. That's all.

Jeff

[Pierre]

Sounds very reasonable Henry, but I'd like him to explain it, if he could.

Yes, but I did read it. Someone should pay for that!

But don't you know the next degree he will claim is literature.

[Mayerling]

He is busy decoding his gogmagog letter. Intrigued by the grand gilt coach he Googles the phrase. The third link takes him to Letters of Tennyson 1851-1870, which opens to a letter using a similar phrase. He goes to online-literature.com to explore some works of Tennyson, the third piece in the list of works is Queen Mary: A Drama. That's probably enough for him. He glanced at the link for the Dramatis Personae. He wrongly assumes it's the other Queen Mary, notes the presence of a Princess Elizabeth. It's done.

That is what the poster calls researching, analyzing sources. He loves the phrase internal and external source criticism, but we saw no evidence that he'd actually done anything more substantial than what I just did.

Sounds very reasonable Henry, but I'd like him to explain it, if he could.

Jeff, I admire your gift for comedy!

The idea that he read the play!

Yes, but I did read it. Someone should pay for that!
