      Wondering if your ever going to do anymore JT Rolt, I’ve read and listened to a bunch of his stuff, and he’s another of my favorites.
      I’m sure you have an entire list of stuff you need to get to, especially for you patrons. so, no worries or hurries. Was curious, and if you hadn’t thought of it recently, just hoped to keep it… (what was it Biden’s press Secretary called it, after he signed a press release mourning a Congresswoman lost in a car crash, then went and asked where she was a couple weeks later, the same week he was to dedicate a hospital to her?): “Top of Mind”.
      Cheers

    I’ve been trying to find this! I didn’t know the title, but I do love A.M. Burrage - imagine my surprise that he coined the term “fourth wall” with this work, a term that I thought was modern, and so never used it in searching for this story! Yet, here you’ve supplied it for me. Much thanks Jasper!
    It’s a bit of an eerie coincidence, a fourth wall break for myself? Are we all but players on a stage, as Shakespeare suggested? Who was William Shakespeare, for that matter? Was he real? Who knows...

    I rather like those, old-fashioned, "rest cures" - Harley Street prescribed...love the " highway robbery" implication...I waited- socialized Medicare of which, generally I am a proponent- a year, because, my nose- BE QUIET, still breaks out! Yes, much to my chagrin, asking the chemist for zit cream with streaks of REAL gray hair, not semi-permanent Unicorn Silver, a very nice and on time, doctor fobbed me off to a VERY EXPENSIVE, PLASTIC SURGEON, THE BEST LASER MAN IN THE OLD WEST...hanging my already self conscious, weak-kneed, mixing metaphors yes, I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE- EVERYBODY INTIMIDATES ME- I INTIMIDATE ME- she works with cancer patients- what could I say, crinkling with shakey hands my vintage, "Gypsy" Authentic, Made in Tunisia ( 2.00, Halloween sale! I kid you not, THAT is the best time to shop "vintage" - I've had more women, using and senior ask where I bought it! Love it! Looks expensive- great embroidery, nifty buttons- not plastic- something which looks ritzy like real mother-of- pearl, Marianne Faithfull would ask to borrow it as it's black with white trimmings...) So my nose and I left, discouraged- I AM NOT AN ALCOHOLIC - NOPE- just saying, nor does my schnoz- it isn't a "schnoz" according to my therapist either nor is it like W.C. Fields' BUT I suffer from facial dysmorphia, the EXPERTS say- well not according to my late mother who wanted a daughter who looked like a young Elizabeth Taylor- she didn't- but she was OBSESSED WITH HER AND HOW CHILDREN, WOMEN, OUGHT TO LOOK- from my earlobes to my big toe- she had a complaint, a demoralizing comment- did SHE look like Lizzie? No. But she was pretty and looked 15yrs younger- I think she made a Faustian pact with You Know Who- Hell for my mother would be annoyingly lacking in mascara, curling irons AND 400.00 A POP, SHOES- narrow feet- poverty- gave me bunions- yes Bargain Harry's Shoe Emporium...I will say, when she was alive she was always very generous to me and my "cheap" but otherwise kind, patient, great partner- my mom made up or tried too for childhood neglect- abusive husband, my father- mom, bless her, took to pills- imagine Elizabeth Siddall, Mrs. Dante G. Rossetti- naive and clingy and a dreamer, should never have married- I arrived years into unholy deadlock- in those days, dexedrine, barbiturates and her fav and mine- OPIATESA were easier to obtain and my father worked in Big Pharma, so...addictive personality disorders run in families no matter how much you swear you won't go down that road- she'd be that pale, annoying, histrionic woman crying for her drops- Victorian tonics were VERY enticing were they not! ( I still wish I could write a ghost story about Lizzie coming for Gabriel after he dug up her coffin to retrieve his poems- what a lurid, melodrama but sadly true. Pitiful story isn't it? I got teased at uni for "being in love" with a ghost- Dante Gabriel- well when he young, a looker- and his penchant for buccaneer? clothes- I AM NOT INTO NECROPHILIA EITHER...I promised NOT to rattle on....sorry...I wish people on great channels like yours and Tony Walker's and many music channels WOULD TALK ABOUT THEIR LIVES- but I suppose that's Facebook- nope, not into muffin recipes or 15,000 photos of my pets from 1 morning- Namaste Back to the Covid test kit- they are free so my husband got 2 kits- think there's a hint?!? !!
