    Jinshi's Affection

    #Wss366 Affection

    Those familiar with The Apothecary Diaries can ignore this warning. You should understand the deeper meaning of the sensitive line.

    Jinshi sat looking at the paperwork in front of him.

    • Authorizations to repair a storm-damaged warship: Approved.

    • Grain to replace a border garrison stores damaged by water: Denied. The commander could pay for that and be more careful with the stores in the future.

    • Timber for one of Sun Prince’s palaces: Jinshi started to approve it, then noticed who the forwarding clerk was.

    “Got him for fraud,” he said to himself.

    “Have this man seized,” he ordered a guard.

    • A request for medical supplies from Dr. You. The usual items: cloth for bandages; common herbs; alcohol; realgar…

    He stopped, his pen poised to sign. “Realgar, a poison,” he thought.

    “Hmm, compiled by Maomao,” he muttered.

    His eyes misted with affection. Then an image of the self-inflicted scars on her arm arose.

    “I’m sure it’s for a good use, but just in case,” he said, and struck out the arsenic poison before approving the requisition.

  3. 💔 Couples 💔

    "If one stands in so intimate a relationship with a man as I do with Douglass, one comes to know facets of the whole world, of men + women, which would otherwise remain closed, especially if it is a man whom the entire world has seen + whom so many women have loved."

    A 20 year friendship between Frederick Douglass & German born feminist, freethinker, + abolitionist Ottilie Assing was to end in tragedy. After learning that Douglass had married Helen Pitts, Assing killed herself by swallowing cyanide in a public park in Paris. As per her will all her letters with Douglass were burned. She bequeathed him ongoing income from a trust fund + his choice of books from her library.

  4. 🩶 Couples 🩶

    “Love came to me, + I was not afraid to marry the man I loved because of his color”

    Frederick Douglass & Helen Pitts married 2 years after the death of his 1st wife Anna. He was 66 + she, 46. They married amid a storm of controversy. Both families objected to the marriage. Douglass’ children felt his marriage was a repudiation of their African American mother. Pitts' family, alrhough friends to Douglass + abolitionists, stopped speaking to her. The couple remained married for 11 years, until his death in 1895.
