Fexofenadine

Um...

Well, no, I spoke to someone who may be the current husband of my first wife, who yesterday had just made an emergency dash to the chemist to get Telfast.

Right, okay.

And then I spoke to my brother, who's also dealing with... severe hay fever issues yesterday.

It's allergy season.

[sniffs] And somebody said, "I'm gonna buy you Zyrtec." I already take Allegra and Mucinex.

Might as well add it to the link or add it, add it to the, the list, if you will, of things I'm taking.

Um, it, it ...

For now the time of Claire's trial was approaching, and on January 13th a little girl was born, not destined to remain long in a world so sad for some.

Little Allegra, a child of rare beauty, was welcomed by Shelley and Mary with all the benevolence they were capable of, and Byron's duty to his child devolved, for the time at least, on Shelley.

End of section 14.

Section 15 of Mrs. Shelley.

Although when he left England in 1818, Shelley's chief reason, as given in his letter to Godwin, was on account of his health.

Undoubtedly, the judgment, in all the trying circumstances they had been passing through ever since their return from Geneva, helped decide them in this determination.

Charles and Ianthe were finally placed under the care of Dr. and Mrs. Hume, who were to receive two hundred pounds a year, eighty pounds settled on them by Westbrook and one hundred and twenty pounds to be paid by Shelley for the charge Shelley might see them twelve times a year in the presence of the Humes the Westbrooks twelve times alone and Sir Timothy and his family when they chose while these proceedings were progressing Mary with Claire and the two children had moved to Marlow having previously joined Shelley in London on January 26th as she feared to leave him in his depressed state alone the intellectual society they met at Hunt's and at Godwin's helped to pass over this trying period one evening Mary saw together the three poets Hunt Shelley and Keats Keats not being much drawn towards Shelley while Hazlitt who was also present was unfavorably impressed by his worn and sickly appearance induced by the terrible anxieties and trials which he had recently passed through Horace Smith also proved a staunch friend Shelley once remarked it was odd that the only true generous wealthy person he ever met should be a stockbroker and that he should write and care for poetry and yet make money in the midst of her anxieties Mary Shelley enjoyed more social intercourse and amusement than before we find her noting in her diary in February dining with the Hunts and Horace Smith going to the opera of Figaro music etc but now they had found their Marlow retreat a house with a garden as Mary desired not with a river view but a shady little orchard a kitchen garden yews cypresses and a cedar tree here Mary was able to live unsaddened for a time the Swiss nurse for the children a cook and a manservant sufficed for indoor and outdoor work and Mary true to her name was able to occupy herself with spiritual and intellectual employment not to the neglect of domestic as the succession of visitors entertained must prove study drawing and her beloved work of Frankenstein were making rapid progress nor could Mary have been indifferent to the woes of the poor for Shelley would scarcely have been so actively benevolent as recorded during the residence at Marlow without the cooperation of his wife while Shelley inquired into cases of distress and gave written orders for money Mary dispensed the latter here Godwin paid them his first visit and the Hunts passed a pleasant time Shelley wrote his Revolt of Islam under the Bishman Beeches and Mary had the pleasure of welcoming her old friend Mr. Baxter of Dundee although his daughter Isobel married to Mr. Booth still held aloof Peacock Horace Smith and Hogg were also among the guests we find constant references to Godwin having been irritated and querulous with Mary or Shelley a forced unnatural equanimity during one period of his life seems to have resulted in a querulous irritability later a not unusual case and he had to vent it on those who loved and revered him most or in fact on those who would alone endure it from her amiability of disposition a quality not remarkable in his second wife on May 14th we find Mary has finished and corrected her Frankenstein and she decides to go to London and stay with her father while carrying on the negotiations with Murray whom she wishes to publish it Shelley accompanies Mary for a few days at Godwin's invitation but returns to look after Blue Eyes to whom he is charged with a million kisses from Mary but Mary returns speedily to Shelley and Blue Eyes having felt very restless while absent she soon falls into a plan of Shelley's for partially adopting a little Polly who frequently spent the day or slept in their house and Mary would find time to tell her before she went to bed whatever she or Shelley had been reading that day always asking her what she thought of it Mary who was expecting another child in the autumn was not long idle after the completion of Frankenstein but set to work copying and revising her six weeks tour this work begun in August she completed after the birth of her baby Clara on September 2nd in October the book was bought and published by Hookham she tells in her notes on this year 1817 how she felt the illness and sorrows which Shelley passed through had widened his intellect and how it was the source of some of his noblest poems but that he had lost his early dreams of changing the world by an idea or at least he no longer expected to see the result a letter from Mary to her husband written soon after the birth of her baby shows how anxious she was at that time about his health it had been a positive pain to her to see him languid and ill and she counseled him obtaining the best advice change being recommended by the physician Mary has to decide between going to the seaside or Italy with all the reasons for and against Italy Mary asked Shelley to let her know distinctly his wish in the matter as she can be well anywhere one strong reason for their going to Italy is that Alba as Allegra was then called should join her father evidently the embarrassment was too great to settle how to account for the poor child longer in England and had not she a just claim upon Byron in another letter September 28th Mary speaks of Claire's return to Marlow in a croaking state everything wrong Harriet's death's enormous she had just been out for her first walk after the birth of Clara and was surprised to find how much warmer it was out than in Shelley is commissioned to buy a sealskin fur hat for Willie and to take care that it is a round fashionable shape for a boy she is surrounded by babies while writing William Alba and little Clara her love is to be given to Godwin when Mrs. Godwin is not there as she does not love her Frankenstein is still undisposed of the house at Marlow is soon found to be far too cold for a winter residence Italy or the sea must speedily be settled on Alba is the great consideration in favor of Italy Mary feels she will not be safe except with them Byron is so difficult to fix in any way and the one hope seems to be to get him to provide for the child anxiety for Alba's future ruled their present so impossible is it to foretell the future which read and judged as our past is easy to be severe upon This dream of health and rest in Italy was not to be so easily realized.

Instead of being there, they were still dispensing charity at Marlow at the end of December in spite of various negotiations for money in October and November.

And somebody said, I'm going to buy you Zyrtec.

I already take Allegra and Mucinex.

Might as well add it to the link.

Add it to the list, if you will, of things I'm taking.
