Forgive Me Father - Dionisia Fisk - January 9, 2021
5 January, 1891
Mr. Reuben Crouch,I have wished to write to you for some time now, but could not find the strength to until now. It is difficult to admit, both out of shame and fear of your reaction, but my moral compass demands it of me. I must tell you.
You have a son.

You are mistaken. I married in February 1890 and have never been unfaithful to my wife.

Mr. Reuben Crouch,This is not an accusation of adultery, that much I can assure you. He was born before you were even married. I can also assure you that you were the only man who has ever visited my bed. I am not mistaken.

Art,
I think I'm being blackmailed.
Why would anyone want to blackmail me? Do they think because I'm married and live in a house I have money?

Ben,
Who's blackmailing you?
Maybe they think Aldous has money.

Art,
I don't know who's doing it. Do blackmailers usually give their names and addresses?
She says I've got a son which ... I mean, sure. I guess it could've happened. But why wait until now to say something unless this is some kind of blackmail? She's obviously not hoping I'll marry her. So what is this about? What does she want?

Ben,
If she's after blackmailing you she hasn't actually admitted to wanting anything, which seems weird.
Maybe she just wanted you to know?

Ben,
people feel rather sentimental about children

Okay, but — she didn't even tell me anything about him. Not how old he is or what he's like or — I mean isn't that the sort of thing she'd tell me if she thought I might be — sentimental?
I don't — should I reply, do you think?
I shouldn't, should I? I mean, the princess would lose her mind if she heard about this.
RE: Forgive Me Father - Reuben Crouch - January 10, 2021
And suppose she is trying to blackmail me — writing her back and asking about him would be like admitting that he was mine, right? And I don't even know that I believe he is. Or that he exists. She could just be making this up, right?

T,
Assuming you're correct and telling the truth — why tell me?

Mr. Reuben Crouch,I saw you in passing in public recently. I hadn't seen in years, and I didn't think I had much a reason to. You and I went our separate ways and circumstances worked out in a way that ensured I had no need to drag you into the situation. However, watching you on the street, I was startled to see how much he looks like you. It scared me in the moment, just a bit. I'm sorry if the knowledge is unwanted, but you deserve to know of him. If you'd like, I can tell you more.

Yes. I would like to know more.

Mr. Reuben Crouch,I'm glad.
He's a sweet boy and very nosy. He talks a lot, mostly in babbles still, and will try and hold a conversation with anyone willing. He loves attention and will climb onto furniture or hold onto your leg if he thinks it will get him just a little bit. He's not much of a troublemaker, but has a sneaky hand for sweets. He's got large brown eyes and has my hair, but I can see your smile in his and even your face shape.
His favorite game to play is healer—perhaps because we have them in the family. He'll take toy dragons and poke hem with a toy wand and wrap strips of fabric around their legs. I can't claim to know you well, but I know he's very unlike me in some ways. He isn't afraid of heights or running into a crowd of people with no safeguards. He's a good boy, albeit a reckless one sometimes.
Whatever you wish to know, I'll tell you.
