So he marches up the hill to the big house called Knoll House, which is a kind of really ancient seat that's being rented out at the time by the magistrate, a local magistrate of Bristol.
And he's kind of, if anyone ever watched Poldark, he's kind of like George Warleggan, the antagonist of Poldark.
He owns a small local bank.
He's the magistrate.
He's just...
like your classic baddie we don't like him is he we don't know boo and hiss for him he's he is known locally as samuel devil warrell all right okay that bad then right yeah that bad and there's a there's an amazing anecdote about him when he has been like out drinking in bristol at some fancy event and he gets out of his carriage and he slips on the the step of the carriage and falls on the pavement and he's so kind of pissed off that people have seen him that he accuses a random shopkeeper who's watching of having pushed him over and he's like i will take you to court sir
This poor woman who's collapsed is taken up to the magistrate's house and she's let into the parlor and they're like, who are you?
And she just carries on speaking this language they don't understand.
And she's quite animated.
She's trying to explain to them what's going on.
And at one point, and again, I just love the sort of, oh, you're a foreigner, you'll know.
One of the people in the household is like, we have a Greek servant, bring him in, see if he can understand what she's saying.
And this poor Greek servant gets dragged in.
And, you know, they're like, what's she saying, mate?
And he's like, well, she's not Greek, so I don't know.
Why are you asking me?
Just because I'm foreign?
It becomes this sort of farce immediately.
Anyway, they can't get a sense of who she is, but nor can they just abandon her because she's very...
They're involved.
