Surviving as a Writer in the British Empire

Royal Literary Society (2)

One of the best children’s writers of the 21st century, one of the first photographers, and an evolutionist.

At the same time… a well-known pedophile.

No matter how much I’ve never touched it myself, once you hear it, it’s FBI OPEN UP!! It is true that they have been innocent even if they break down the gate and break in and hit the head with a lead bullet.

I can understand Mr. Miller’s reluctance.

Still, I received grace from him first. When ＜Peter Perry＞ was first published, it was praised.

In that situation, if I didn’t invite you, it’s not polite to refuse an invitation when you’ve been invited.

however.

“Oh, do you understand? What a human being! It is a lump of corruption, wealth, and corruption!!”

“Uh, um.”

Something different from what you think?

Guildford, County Surrey, South East England.

I am Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a middle-aged man with a severe stutter. I looked at the pseudonym Lewis Carroll and looked at it with dumbfounded eyes.

“Ha, Hans, Hanslow.”

“If you have trouble pronouncing it, you can call me Hans. teacher.”

“That, it is. Ha, Hans. Now, you know ah, don’t you? Me, me, like me, don’t stutter! Uh, how much you buy, buy, and get treated as a troublemaker in society!”

“Yeah, what…”

I couldn’t help but nod my head.

The original ecosystem works like that. If you see something different from yourself, you naturally avoid it. They even reject them.

Of course, humans are a better case.

Anthropologists have said that the first evidence of human society is ‘a leg bone that was broken and then reattached’.

But it is also true that not all human societies work that way.

The luck that only a few, like me, was given to Mr. Miller.

And unfortunately, Lewis Carroll wasn’t having that luck. Because of his stutter, this man even had to give up his job as a professor.

That trauma will be quite deep.

so.

“I, the older I get, the more I get. Four, people are big, there are too many things in your head, you. Oh, all kinds of birds, buy sunglasses and see people!”

“Ummm… that’s right.”

I nodded shyly. There are many things to refute, but I endured it for now.

So, in short, this person isn’t a lolicon, it’s more of a ‘genophobia’.

Shall we say that it is a fear caused by accepting, teasing, and rejecting Charles with a stutter, not Lewis Carroll as an outstanding mathematician, photographer, and writer?

What is even more severe is that oneself is included in the object of the hate.

“My, my whole life. Oh, Joe, I loved the kids. Oh, if the children do not like poetry, ha ha! I, I, my, my, I can dig, dig out even dirty eyes! That, that is, ha, poetry to God, divine righteousness, duty!”

“Do you like kids that much?”

“Of course not! Ae, kids are pure, so there is no discrimination!”

And that, I was healed by children who approached me in a friendly way without prejudice.

It is said that he even feels comfortable in front of children and does not stutter, so it is not strange that he is obsessed with ‘purity’ at this point.

“Now, even in your writing. I-I felt that.”

“＜Peter Perry＞?”

“That, yes. That, that uh, you can see in some text, more than… This, the people who read it! T, especially ah, children, can, innocently, re, fun, want to do! I-I felt it!”

Wow, that makes it even harder to refuse.

Anyway, his obsession with ‘innocence’ extended to other directions, not just children.

“So you’re saying you like math.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Numbers, numbers, math. Ga, the most number, number, pure ha, because it is learning.”

“yes. I agree on that.”

It differs from culture to culture. Science has too many conditions.

But math is the same everywhere. 1 + 1 is 2 in the desert, in the grasslands, or even in space.

If there is an academic that is closest to Plato’s ‘idea’, it would be mathematics.

Lewis Carroll put it that way.

“Yeah, but… kid, kids don’t really like that.”

“Yeah, well… it’s difficult.”

“Ah, it’s not difficult… Now, learn well, if you learn, it’s easy…”

well

When I think of the palm time in high school that was overflowing with blisters, I can understand them too.

“Ha, but I, I… ah, they like numbers, math, I’m thinking Joe, I wish, birds.”

“That’s why you called me.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

In short, I, the author of ＜Peter Perry＞, which is most popular with kids these days, was telling them to do some PR.

Well… it’s not impossible.

There are sometimes stories of great people who say that their lives changed after meeting a high-ranking person when they were young.

By the way, that’s what… it’s about great people.

furthermore.

“Sir, is that possible?”

“Uh, huh? What, is it impossible…”

“No, I’m doing it. It’s simple. It doesn’t cost any money. but······.”

If you try to entice kids like that, they’re not really studying math because they’re interested in it.

It’s temporary anyway.

Besides, even though I’m a celebrity, Lewis Carroll is famous too.

Even being from the same writer lineage, it’s not strange if you develop resistance like antibiotics.

“Then, how, what should I do?”

“Um, what. There is a way.”

I said so with a grin.

Lewis Carroll is good, I am good, my sister is good, my brother-in-law is good, I love digging and catching crayfish.

“Are we novelists?”

So let’s put it in writing.

***

“after.”

The meeting room of the Royal Society of Literature at Somerset House, which boasts the highest level of literary artistry and intelligence in England.

What is the beauty of literature, what is the value of literature, what writers should write for the British Empire.

The expression on their faces as they discuss it and strive for the endless development of British literature is… gloomy itself.

Darker than the London sky outside the window seemed just like their future.

“Ha, no matter how much I searched, I can’t find it.”

“The same goes for this one.”

“I told all of my acquaintances, including my in-laws’ eighth cousins, but they were all bad.”

“so.”

Hardinge Giffard, Marquis of Hallsbury, did not like them.

“In the end, no one even caught him by the tail, you mean?”

“Huh, Chairman.”

“But… what about the unknown?”

The members of the council said as if they were unfair. Guessing who wasn’t the writers, Giffard couldn’t hold back any more.

It was all the more so because there was a basis. In fact, they did everything they could.

They use all of their connections, from the northern tip of Scotland to their cottage in Cornwall (Kernow, the southwestern tip of Britain).

Even if it didn’t work, it widened the distance and checked all of Ireland as well as the colonies.

······ However, Hanslo Jin’s true identity could not be found.

Still, it is clear that the name must be aristocratic, but wouldn’t it come out at the salon? I searched everywhere with that feeling, but I didn’t even come up with a clue.

The ghost was supposed to sing.

It’s strange that you can’t find it unless you’re a member of the lower class, and even after digging, not a single clue comes out…

This means only one thing.

“In the world, how tightly are you wrapped up?”

“I wouldn’t try to hide my identity this far unless I was born through a scandal…”

“This is why illegitimate children do not need to be treated well. Do you really need to treat things that were born as a result of a mistake?”

“I know yeah.”

They could only grumble.

Then, someone raised their hand and spoke.

“Well, there are rumors that he is actually a descendant of the royal family…”

“The royal family… there’s no way that’s the case.”

“Ah, Aam. yes. Absolutely not.”

Members of Congress, as well as Giffard, desperately denied it.

Of course, that explains why his identity is not revealed and his habit of putting verbs at the end of sentences like a German.

Just as Her Majesty the Queen spent her childhood in Germany, the current dynasty, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, was originally a German aristocratic family.

But… that’s why I ruled it out.

If that’s true, then their struggle is meaningless at that moment.

Although they are the same illegitimate children, ‘illegitimate children of royalty’ and ‘illegitimate children of nobles’ differ in their degrees.

No matter how vulgar bloodlines are mixed, an illegitimate child of royalty is royalty.

It is that they are not something that can be done.

‘Wait, could that be why the royal family liked ＜Peter Perry＞ so much?

‘Isn’t there a rumor that there are many people in the palace, not to mention the royal couple?’

‘Fortunately, it seems that the queen isn’t interested yet…’

In case someone is not a writer, various delusions pour out of their heads.

In particular, the royal couple, who are known to be big fans of ＜Peter Perry＞, are favored by Queen Victoria. It’s a matter that they can be robbed if they do it wrong.

“Whoa, if he really is a member of the royal family, there’s nothing we can do about it. You have to let go.”

“Calm down. There is no evidence of royalty yet.”

“evidence? Do you have any proof beyond that he has gone into hiding this far?”

“That’s just a circumstance, it’s not certain yet!”

Gifard shouted insistently.

If you think of common sense, it would be less embarrassing to let go of this.

However, if humans were such rational creatures, the term sunk costs that economists would call 100 years later would not have been coined.

‘I’ve already burned the wind.’

I was obsessed with a personal desire to take this opportunity to uproot the weeds of popular literature that I don’t want to see.

However, if this continues, the policy of ‘condemning Hanslo Jin’, which is the center of it, will fail and collapse.

Then forever is over.

This is how they will view Gifard. A scene played in his head.

—Ha, he ran amok, but in the end he couldn’t do anything.

─As expected, is the retirement over… Do I have to follow a person like that?

—Now, who should we elect for the next president?

‘That’s absolutely not possible!’

Of course, it was an absurd delusion drawn from the rush of blood in his head, but to him it was sincere.

He opened his mouth quickly.

“Royalty is still one of the worst possibilities. If you made a hundred concessions and wrote fairy novels as a descendant of the royal family and a native of Germany, there is no way you can escape the influence of Richard Wagner! But see From your point of view, did you smell that smell even once in the author’s writings?”

Although Wagner was famous as a classical composer, he was fundamentally an all-rounder and omnipotent in literature.

Beyond language, his epic is a masterpiece that emphasizes the romantic primeval language, that is, the alliteration based on the language of sensuous emotion.

But what about Hanslo Jin’s writings? Rhythm was ignored, sentences were short, and romance was nowhere to be found.

“… it’s not like that.”

“You can’t even compare. cancer.”

thank god.

Having succeeded in turning the atmosphere negative, Gifard sighed in relief.

Of course, I couldn’t be completely sure. It’s just that the probability is low, because it wasn’t made to zero.

“…Well, just in case you don’t know, I’ll put up with anything I can bring in the royal family.”

“Yeah, that’s right. If it is thoroughly resolved only with matters related to literature, even Her Majesty the Queen will have no disagreement.”

You can’t step on mines anyway, so an agreement was reached quickly.

Elites, especially ‘academics’, are a class with strong respect for their respective domains.

As it is a place where the knowledge you have is more important than any other area, a tacit agreement was reached to let the inside solve the internal affairs on its own.

In other words, as long as you respond only within the literary world, it doesn’t matter how petty you are!

“Shall we ask the professors belonging to our literary society to return to martial law? I don’t want students to see such nonsense.”

“It is already being done at Oxbridge (Oxford + Cambridge), but it is a very difficult job, and I think it is not enough just to crack down on students. The biggest problem right now is the common people.”

“Why don’t we set a regular price for the book? Monthly magazines are now only 1 shilling (about 10,000 won), and weekly magazines are only 3 pence (about 3,000 won), so the common people are buying more freely. So, if you set the list price at a price several times that, and make it impossible to even get a discount…!”

“Are you out of your mind? Infringing on the free economic activities of publishers? Do you want to turn even the economists into enemies?!”

“No, then what are you going to do?”

But even so, they couldn’t find an answer.

It was natural. Fundamentally, a ‘deadly method’ is a workaround because you can’t win head-on.

As an analogy, it’s like putting a bell around a cat’s neck.

However, the only way to solve popular literature, which is fundamentally supported by the public, within the literary world is to take away the public’s support… which means that in the end, it must be a mouse that can crush the cat head-on.

If that was possible, I would have beaten it a long time ago, would you be sitting in a closet like this right now?

Even the rats from the fable are all caught and eaten later.

“How about doing this?”

It was then. A member of the Council of the Royal Society of Literature raised his hand.

“I heard that there is a saying in the distant East, ‘Poison is overcome with poison [以毒制毒].’”

From noble mtl dot com

“So?”

“It means that if you want to subdue Hanslo Jin, you just need to add a popular writer to match.”

“······what?”

Gifard asked incredulously.

I hate to admit it, but Hanslo Jin is a popular literature writer who is enjoying the greatest popularity right now.

As long as that ＜Sherlock Holmes＞ hit the suspension of serialization… wait.

“Maybe now.”

Hardinge Gifard asked again, still in doubt.

“You mean to recruit Arthur Conan Doyle?”
