March 19th On This Day In #Strike and #Ellacott 2016 #TheRunningGrave Ch 10 "Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy: For the apparel oft proclaims the man" Hamlet Act 1 Sc 3 "Robin rose early in her flat in Walthamstow, ate breakfast, dressed in a pair of Valentino trousers, an Armani shirt and a Stella McCartney jacket, slung a Gucci bag over her shoulder, then set off for central London, feeling both nervous and excited." Robin attends her first meeting of the United Humanitarian Church in Rupert Court, London. "On one side of the passageway were various small businesses, including a Chinese reflexologist. Most of the other side was taken up by the temple." The TV adaptation of #TroubledBlood featured Rupert Court as the site where Kara Wolfsin's body was found, and where Robin laid flowers in remembrance. "Are you here alone?’ said a voice beside Robin ... ‘Yes,’ said Robin, ‘my friend was supposed to come with me but she’s got a hangover!’ ‘Oh dear,’ said the girl, still smiling. ‘I know, I was a bit annoyed,’ said Robin, with a laugh ... ‘There are no accidents,’ said the blonde, beaming down at Robin. ‘I’ve learned that. No accidents ..." Robin has chosen an "auspicious" day, Jonathan Wace is in attendance. "A handsome, tall and fit-looking man in his mid-sixties, he could have passed in this light for a couple of decades younger, with his thick, dark shoulder-length hair threaded with silver, his large, dark blue eyes and square jaw with a dimple in his chin. His smile was thoroughly engaging." His speech tells the story of Rusty Anderson and is designed to appeal to an audience who have mostly attended out of curiosity. "Some of you here today are non-believers,’ said Wace, smiling again. ‘Some of you came out of curiosity. Some doubt, many disbelieve. Some of you might even have come to laugh at us. And why not laugh? Laughter is joyous, and joy comes from God ... ...I’d rather face an honest sceptic than a hundred who believe they know God, but are really in thrall to their own piety, their insistence that only they, and their religion, have found the right way ... ... If you want a sign, speak the words now: “I admit the possibility." 🎥 Robin in Rupert Court Ep 2 TB BBC/Bronte Some of Robin's disguises John Lynch will star as Jonathan Wace in TRG
