To Gs 3 , I believe that Dr. Maturin arrived at the perfect living arrangement in his marriage to the beautiful and high spirited Diana Villiers. While she kept up up the mansion house that they had on Half moon Street(so named for the pub that stood at the end of Piccadilly Street), he maintained his shabby yet comfortable room at The Grapes. There he could count on his parched egg breakfast and Diana could rise noonish in her house and read the papers before dressing.At that time Maturin could leave the inn, walk along the Strand and Pall Mall thru to the Green Park with time to spare to start their day together. Be aware however that just because they maintained seperate living arrangements does not diminish there affection or devotion to each other. This unconventional arrangement suited them well until the arrival of their daughter. That is another story altogether.

Many is the day that I have woken up in the dewy grass of Green Park and witnessed the reclusive Ms. Villiers and the good doctor strolling among the Periwinkles. As I lay there wondering about the origin of the blood stains on my shirt, my heart could not help but to revel in the prescence of their love. One particular morning awakening after a night at the local Absinthe house, I noticed a goose following the afore mentioned couple through the park. At first the site amused me but without warning my heart filled with anger and I lept out of the undergrowth of Green Park with my shoe in my hand ready to brain the goose. I am afraid that my dishelved appearance and hosilte manner gave Dr.Maturin and Ms. Villiers quite a fright.
