(To Bobby.) And I hesitate to bring this up but our friend, here in the middle, was a Brother in an order in the 15th century in Denmark and it was a secret order that operated underground, so to speak. The personality has a great humility and a true sweetness. An inquiring mind, but also, because of past experience, can also latch upon an idea and never give it up. All the time thinking that it’s open-minded. Now I am speaking now of any given particular issue, not for example, of an entire mental life style, but beneath the humility a stubbornness; an attention to detail; a freedom of thought on the one hand, but an attention to detail having to do also, with this life when you took care of a sacristy and attended to altar veils and the placement of candles, missals and statues in specific and given places. Also, then, you were one who took care of a church calendar where each given saint had his day and for you, at that time, each day then took on the character of its saint for you believed in this implicitly. A love of fine silver and ornamentation from those days. There is some confusion here, we must break this for over here...
(To Natalie.) For over here in our kind and very excellent secretary. There is a bleed-through of material from an Irish existence as a young boy of fourteen. I see you as a Brian Donlevy, in a town 30 or 35 miles from Dublin in 1831 at the time of a hidden rebellion, as a runner. As a runner between the Catholic Irish and Englishmen and in a time of terror. Two brothers who were priests and yet it seems from what I am getting, that you did what only can be called spy work for them. That matters of money and inheritance entered in and that they were on the side of the English for those reasons. Therefore, you were in a highly ambiguous position. 1831 to 1862. Rather aggressive, hotheaded. I see you playing in the church, mimicking the priest and playing with the vestments. You sired a son at the age of fourteen. Your brothers knew this, the priests, and they used this knowledge to incite you to act as a spy for them.
