(Er….is that *my* former wife, @ThePhoenix97? I have a bad feeling about this…)

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

How Deplorable....my granddaughter, @LizCStoddard1 has married an...an Irishman...and my grandson @RogerCo05129204 is seeking to romance his former wife? Tchah! We Collins men should be made of sterner stuff!

@Call_Me_Mother @NoLieWithBTC George Santayana, in 1905, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” in The Life of Reason.

In the year 1897, strange visitors come to the Great House at Collinwood--a religious mountebank, a strange "cousin" whose gloomy visage frightens Aunt Edith, and an "old friend" from London.

@magda_rakosi @BethChavez1897 Then, the darkness of her eyes sobered him. He reached into his watch pocket and drew out two silver coins, pressing them into her hand. “Take it, Magda. I’m glad you make her happier.”

He turned on his heel and walked away, chucking, “a BUURRRD of fire. Quentin will laugh!”

@magda_rakosi @BethChavez1897 “Oh, my dear Magda, you’re worried for us! But I remember my Arnold:
‘the gipsy-crew,
His mates, had arts to rule as they desired
The workings of men's brains,
And they can bind them to what thoughts they will.’”

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@magda_rakosi @BethChavez1897 “And don’t you encourage her, Beth—that Gypsy camp grows daily out there!” He laughed, a little callously.

@magda_rakosi @BethChavez1897 “Honestly, I cannot understand why Mamma tolerates your presence here. I admit your antics are entertaining, but what has a flaming bird to do with life in the 19th Century?”

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@magda_rakosi @BethChavez1897 “A burrrd of fire, Magda? Do you have any talisman to protect us against it?”

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@EliotStokes @1795Millicent @BurkeDevlinNYC @GovernessVicki “Millicent, we can go back to an unhaunted Collinwood. We can live, and be free, with each other. We can even leave Collinwood then, and travel if you wish. I missed my chance at life; you lost yours. Let us begin afresh.”

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@1795Millicent @RogerCo05129204 Why, yes, he can. But that’s all right. Roger was possessed by my grandfather several times—they’ve something of a bond, and he was willing to help me here. I can let him go now.

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@ThePhoenix97 Well, a slightly more violent response than his usual mockery.

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

I cannot but note the decline and fall of practically everything since my passing. Why, there’s a man who says he’d end up in a madhouse if he “looses” his wife. Is she a prisoner? A hostage?

If you love her, set her free, man, as those ersatz pre-Raphaelites were chanting …

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@1795Millicent Now *that* is a scent I have long missed...

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@1795Millicent I am Edward Collins, and most grateful for your invitation. Is that. . . Darjeeling?

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@Joseph_Bede I never mock, Sir; that is my brother Quentin's forte.

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@Joseph_Bede To the contrary, I've met many. You're simply the only one to treat it as a badge of honor.

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@Joseph_Bede Ah, you meant "lose" not "loose"; my mistake, its the Mancunian accent. Completely threw me.

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@ThePhoenix97 Surely not the last man! There's still Carl and Quentin, after all!

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@ThePhoenix97 Laura! Even as I haunt Collinwood, you haunt me? Mind you, you do look well on it!

[Edward Collins (RP) @EdwdCollins1897]

@JamisonCollins @_QuentinCollins Good lad.
