  Absalom and Achitophel

  John Dryden

  John Dryden published Absalom and Achitophel: A Poem in 1681. It is an elaborate historical allegory using the political situation faced by King David (2 Samuel 14-18) to mirror that faced by Charles II. Each monarch had a son whom a high-ranking minister attempted to use against him. James Scott, first Duke of Monmouth, Charles II's illegitimate son, was detected planning a rebellion late in 1681, supposedly instigated by the Earl of Shaftesbury, who was tried for high treason, and it is believed that Dryden wrote the poem in an effort to sway the jury in his trial. The fates of both Absalom (Monmouth) and Achitophel (Shaftesbury) are left unspecified at the end of the poem (Monmouth did rebel in 1685, after his father's death, and was executed, and Shaftesbury was acquitted), but we are left to surmise that their fates would resemble those of their Biblical counterparts: Absalom was killed against David's instructions and Achitophel hanged himself.The poem can be enjoyed without any special knowledge of either the Bible or seventeenth-century English history, but it is useful to understand why Monmouth (AKA Absalom) was such a useful tool to use against his father: Charles had many illegitimate offspring, but his wife was barren, so at his death the crown would pass (did pass) to his brother, James, who was Catholic, but Monmouth was Protestant as well as well-beloved by both the king and the people. England had good reason to dread a return of officially enforced Catholicism. The narrator's urbane attitude toward David's amatory adventures in the opening of the poem and his burlesque of the supposed Jebusitical plot (the "Popish Plot" of 1678) establish clearly his Tory bias in favor of the Establishment and his disdain of the panic caused by fear of Catholicism (Dryden himself converted to the Catholic faith at some time before 1685).

  ‘Cat at Christmas’ is written using British English with a Scottish flavour. There are spelling differences between British English and the English as written and spoken in other parts of our wonderful, diverse world. There are also spelling differences between Human English and Cat English. Where Cat English predominates, cat won the argument. 
    
  Quotes from 'Cat at Christmas': 
    
  'Cats like to climb, and Myup and me were no exception. 
  'Up we went. 
  'Down we went. 
  'Down we went along wif the tree. 
  'We hit the ground wif a thump and a crash, accompanied by the merry little tinkles of breaking bobbles.why I am very careful to choose the right place.’ 
    
  'If this fails make sure you are seen licking the nicest bits all over. I have noticed that humans almost never eat anyfing that has been licked by another. Small humans do this a lot wif bags of sweeties.' 
   
  'Remember to hide once they have been filled so you are not removed from the room. The hiding is especially important if you destroyed the stockings the previous Chrismas.'

  BENJI 
   
   
   
  Bastian Cole. He's the ex who broke my heart, the man who up and left without an explanation or so much as a goodbye, just a note saying he was sorry. Yep, in one fell swoop he crushed any joy I had in my soul, ruined my faith in true love, and destroyed the dream we shared of running our very own BnB in Mulligan's Mill. 
   
   
   
  That was three years ago, but those shattered dreams are about to turn into my worst nightmare. For not only have my parents stayed in contact with Bastian all this time. To my utter dismay and anger, I now find out they've invited him to spend Christmas with us in Mulligan's Mill. Meanwhile, I seem doomed to spend the worst Christmas of my life with not only my dysfunctional family . . . but the man I never stopped loving. 
   
   
   
  BASTIAN 
   
   
   
  When Lonnie and Ronnie invited me to spend Christmas with them in Mulligan's Mill, the idea terrified me. I knew what Benji thought of me, and who could blame him? I had my reasons, but would Benji ever understand . . . 
   
   
   
  I might be wishing for a Christmas miracle, but maybe, just maybe, Benji and I could reignite the love, the dream, the future we once had. If we can just survive Christmas at the Larsons first.
