The Great Tub Overflow Story

An example of how human we all can be

A Triple Decker

The Old Bed Tub

Emmet Otter

Crick in the Neck

A story of siblings going on a road

Between 2010 and 2014, maybe even 2015

A Family Gathering in the Summer

In a cabin on Lake Ontario

Moving stuff out of the childhood home

Brother-in-Law, Working Remotely in the basement

Outdoor Living Style

Running the Bathtub

A big old A-S-S-U-M-E

G-R-I-P-I-N-G

Losing track of the tub overflow

Surrounding the brother in law, unaware

It was Scooter’s fault

Only fill up in the tub if you’re in the room

Scoots, don’t multitask

 

STORY

Frannie, Frankie, and Victor’s Story

A letter from Elizabeth

Henry Clervold’s companionship isn’t enough

She’s upset Victor hasn’t written

She heard he’s not great

A nurse for hire might have been caring for you, only for money

Elizabeth could administer care with affection

WTF, why haven’t I heard from you?

Double WTF

Your little brother is going to join the army

He looks upon study as an odious fetter

A little girl, Justine, has joined their family

Explaining Justine’s family situation

There’s less distinction between the classes in Switzerland

A servant in Geneva means something different than in France or England

She learned the practice of service

Justine was once a favorite of Victor’s

The aunt decided to give Justine more of an education

Justine adored her protectress

She loved E’s aunt

Justine’s whole family soon left for the Big Farm

Everyone except her troubled mother left

A judgment from heaven to chastise her partiality

Justine was called home by her repentant mother

She’d rather be a servant than with her mother

I could’ve guessed that J’s mother would vacillate in her repentance

Is it weird to call her Auntie Justine?

E has a dear cousin, darling William

Darling William has already had two little wives

This is just kid stuff

Telling Victor about some Geneva gossip

Elizabeth wrote herself into better spirits

Write, Victor, just write something

I was exhausted writing back to Elizabeth

I could leave my chamber in a fortnight

Introducing Clervall to my professors

Beakers Be Gone

Henry saw that I really didn’t like scientific equipment

Benevolence of Beakerdom

I see Waldmann again

I’m not disowning my brilliance

He meant to please, but he was giving me a cross forehead

Clervall is really good at reading other people’s feelings

I wouldn’t know a bird’s beak from a beaker

No, really

Then we went to old M. Cramp’s office

Harsh, blunt, encomiums

He’s praising me but in a daming way

Easy with the Greatness

Is my modesty good?

1. Cramp then starts talking about himself

Clervall always wanted to pursue language

He wanted to head East

Studying the Persian, Arabic languages

Is Clervall going to eclipse me?

Now, I enjoy being a fellow pupil with my friend

I learned these languages, just well enough to understand

Beautiful, heartening poetry

I would return to Geneva at the end of Autumn

Who am I related to?

I got delayed and figured I’d wait until the spring

Clervall didn’t have any acquaintances

I enjoyed out-studying Clervall

Spring was uncommonly late but it was beautiful

Still trying to fix the date of my departure

Henry proposed a walking tour of Ingallstadt to say goodbye

I enjoyed this hike

I became the same, happy creature of my past

Happy, Inanimate Nature

I was bored by Henry’s musings

Come up with some of your own ideas, bro

A pale of imitation of other writers

But we had a great time talking

When I spend time with him, I tend to feel good about myself

A letter from my father

Frowny, frowny faces will meet you

We’re hurt from your lack of correspondence

This is only to prepare you from woe

Sweet William headed out to the big farm

Our family went for a walk

We didn’t get back until after dusk

William and Ernest went ahead but then got lost

Ernest returns but not William

They were playing hide and seek and William disappeared

This was not a safe place to play hide and seek

Hiding in the big farm

Elizabeth is not happy

William had a miniature locket of his mother that we now can’t find

Whoever empowered William to hide may have that locket

Get back here, Victor

Come and help us, please

You could really comfort us

I don’t want you brooding, it was his choice

I probably shouldn’t send this letter to an overthinker, but here I am

I was very upset by this letter

Clervall is very upset about my misfortune

We can go instantly to Geneva

This is about me, Henry!

Why does He keep taking from me?

William is at total peace now

As I got close to Geneva, I slackened my progress

I passed familiar scenes of my youth

I was altered and so was my town

Calm returns to me

The black sides of Europe and the white peak of Mont Blanc

I was destined to become the most wretched of beings

I did not conceive of this level of misery

It was dark

I went to visit the site of William’s departure

Crossing over the lake

An intense storm is raging

A figure is on the horizon, lit by the lightning

It’s gigantic stature

This was my wretch!

What did he there?

Did he escort my brother over the rainbow bridge?

2 years had elapsed since the night he received life

I had turned a wretch loose on the world

My imagination was busy in scenes of despair

I didn’t date my creation, but my memory dates their creation

The tale has an air of delirium

I wouldn’t believe this story if someone else told it to me

6 years had elapsed since I’d left for Ingallstadt

I gazed on my mother’s painting

Ernest welcomes me home

Elizabeth is being hard on herself

Ernest says that Justine helped William go to the big farm

I believe it’s the wretch

How can it be Justine?

Today is the trial

They discovered the locket in Justine’s pocket

Justine was busted

My father greets me

Father is heartbroken by the revelation of Justine

I say that Justine is innocent

We hope she’ll be acquitted

The Living Monument of Presumption and Rash Ignorance

Elizabeth joins us

Time has altered her

Vivacity allied to a mournfulness

The double blow of Justine and William

They must prove Justine innocent!

We slept for a time, preparing for the day
