So we are gathered together to celebrate this great feast of Saint Margaret Mary Alacor. We are going to celebrate Saint Margaret Mary Alacor. So let us enter into the spirit of prayer, praying for our country, praying for our people. Let's prepare ourselves now boys and girls, sisters and brothers, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. In prayer you say, we know that prayer is the center of prayer, and it is the center of prayer. Let's bow our heads in the moment of silent prayer, as we ask God's mercy upon our country. And I ask God to forgive us, forgive our country, forgive all the sins, especially the crimes, the anger, the dishonesty, all the bad things in our country. And I ask God to please our hearts, forgive us. Let's ask Him to preserve our children, our young people. Let's ask God to preserve them. Let's ask God to give our teachers, the necessary patience they need to educate us, to care and pass on values. Let's ask God to teach us. Together let us confess to God and to one another. I confess to Almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have gravely sinned in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do. Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I ask, blessed Mary of the Virgin, all the angels and saints, to you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. May Almighty God, have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to life everlasting. Oh, have mercy on me, have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me. Oh, Christ, oh, have mercy on me. Let us pray. All out on us we pray, oh Lord, that spirit with which you so remarkably endowed, Saint Margaret Mary, so that we may come to know the love of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, and be utterly filled with your fullness through all our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns within the unity of the Holy Spirit. One God forever and ever. Please be seated. We shall now listen to the first reading. The first reading is taken from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians chapter 2 verses 1 to 10. You were dead through the crimes and the sins in which you used to live when you were following the way of this world, obeying the ruler who governs the air, following the way of the spirits who are at work with the rebellious. We all were among them too in the past. Living sensual lives ruled entirely by our own physical desires and our own ideas, so that by nature we were as much under God's anger as the rest of the world. But God loved us with so much love that he was generous with his mercy. When we were dead through our sins, he brought us to life with Christ. It is through grace that you have been saved and raised up with him and gave us a place with him in heaven in Christ Jesus. This was to show for all ages to come through his goodness towards us in Christ how infinitely rich he is in grace. Because it is by your grace that you have been saved through faith. Not by anything of your own, but by a gift from God. Not by anything what you have done so that nobody can claim the credit. We are God's work of art created in Christ Jesus to live the good life as from the beginning he had meant us to live it. This is the word of the Lord. Our response to the reading. He made us, we belong to him together. He made us, we belong to him. Cry out with joy to the Lord all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before him singing for joy together. He made us, he made us, we belong to him. The sheep of him together. He made within his gifts giving thanks. Enter the courts with songs of prayer and blessing together. He made us indeed our good. Eternals must be full of age to age together. He made us, let us all stand for the gospel. Teach me your paths my God. Make me walk in your truth. Alleluiaan with your spirit. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke. Glory be to you, Lord. The crowd said to Jesus, Master, tell my brother to give me a share of our inheritance. My friend he replied, Who appointed me your judge or the arbitrator of your claims? Then he said to them, Watch and be on your guard against avarice of any kind, For a man's life is not made secure by what he owns, Even when he has more than he needs. Then he told him a parable. There was once a rich man who, having had a good harvest from his land, Fought to himself. What am I to do? I have not enough room to store my crops. Then he said, This is what I will do. I will pull down my bands and build bigger ones And store all my grain and my goods in them. And I will say to my soul, My soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come. Take things easy, eat, drink, have a good time. But God said to him, Fool, This very night the demand will be made for your soul. And this horde of yours, whose will it be then? So it is when a man stores up treasures for himself In place of making himself rich in the sight of God. The Gospel of the Lord Praise the Lord Jesus Christ Go on, go on, go on.   When we're in church, right? We are ex-inclusions, okay? We're getting on good, okay? Because we are both Margaret and Lavros, right? And we have to get on together as sisters and brothers, alright? But today, of course, is your day. So we will give you the respect that is due to you. So viva la Margherita. Viva la Margherita, go on. Now you notice this morning, we had to do many things, say many things in English, and I had to try to translate it in Creole so that some of your children can understand what we are saying. It shows how much work we have to do because la Margherita people and Lavros people, their songs, their traditions are all held within the language, our language. That is why Creole is a vehicle that carries our language, carries our culture, carries our soul, carries our experiences. And so children, we are very happy that our efforts are being made to help you to understand that God has blessed you in St. Lucia with two languages. You are blessed with two languages. You have the native language, which is your Creole, and then you have the language of business, education and things like that, which is English. But as you grew up, when I grew up as a little boy at Monavit, my parents, they were always talking in Creole, all around the place we were speaking Creole, and when I went to school, it was then I had to learn to speak English. Unfortunately, something happened which we hope now will be corrected. As a young St. Lucia mind, my mind was open to two languages. In other words, my mind was broad. My mind was open. When your mind is exposed to two languages, your mind is big. Unfortunately, I was made to close my mind to one language. So they made me shrink my brain in a way, make my mind small. This is why we are so happy today, boys and girls, that at school you are learning that you have a brain that is big. God has blessed you with that, a brain that is open to more than one language. In other words, a brain that can learn more things than other people who have only one brain fixed in one language. So we are very happy with what is happening now and that you are learning English, and soon you will be learning Creole. And I have some of you are learning Mandarin too, I understand, right? And I have some of you are also learning some other languages. Yes, it's good to learn French and Spanish and these things. It helps you because the more your brain is open, the better for you. Viva la margarita! Viva la margarita! Now today I want to tell you a little about the role of St. Margaret. Why it is that we have a saint with la margarita just as we have a saint with la rose? It is because the church wants us to understand that in everything we do, we have to put hoofers. In everything we have to put hoofers, we have to put God first, we have to put God first. So Margaret Mary Alacoc, she was a nun and she loved God so much and she used to pray so much that she had visions of Jesus. She had visions of Jesus and the visions she had of Jesus is the heart of Jesus. That is why we have from Margaret Mary in the Catholic Church what we call the Sacred Heart. You've heard of Sacred Heart? Sacred Heart? Yes, it's from Margaret. We got that. Sacred Heart. She loved Jesus so much that she had visions of the heart of Jesus. And sisters and brothers, this is what we are saying to you today as we continue to celebrate the Feast of St. Margaret Mary Alacoc. You must love the heart of Jesus. You must love Jesus. You must love the heart of Jesus. Not only must you love the heart of Jesus, you must try to have a heart like Jesus. You know a little song? Give me a heart like that ... You know that song? Give me your heart like that. You must love Jesus but you must also ask Jesus to give you a heart like his. and this is what Margaret Mary Alacoc did. She loved Jesus so much that she had visions and she developed this devotion to the heart of Jesus that we call sacred heart. And we want every young man and every young woman, every boy and girl in St. Lucia to have a heart like the heart of Jesus. Could you imagine what would happen in this country if every young boy and every young girl had a heart like Jesus? We would have a beautiful country because the heart of Jesus is a heart of love. The heart of Jesus is a heart of forgiveness. The heart of Jesus is a heart of kindness. The heart of Jesus is a heart that says, okay, you sorry, I forgive you. We have a quarrel. Okay, we can be friends again. When you have a heart like Jesus, that is what happens. So boys and girls, I want each and every one of you to love Jesus, to pray that you will have a heart like Jesus. And you can call in Margaret Mary Alacoc and say, sit my wheat, give me a heart like Jesus. Make me like Jesus. You believe what I say there? You believe what I say there? You believe it? You agree? You want to have a heart like Jesus? All those in church who want to have a heart like Jesus, raise your hands, let me see.  Everyone. Mister means, minister, hey, what you want to, hey, hey. The minister have two hands up. All of us, all of us want to have a heart like Jesus. Because if we have a heart like Jesus, then we'll have a heart of love. And if we love in this country, it will be a better country. We can put your hands on. Put your hands on. So, vive la margrite. Vive la margrite. La margrite. I want you to be resolved today.

Let's continue to pray for our leaders, our government leaders. We acknowledge the presence of the two ministers who just came in there.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right and just. It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation. Always and everywhere to give you thanks. Holy Father almighty and eternal God. For in the sense of consecrating himself to Christ. For the sake of the kingdom of heaven. It is right to celebrate the wonders of your providence.

We praise you as without end we acclaim. Oh Lord. No. Hosanna. Hosanna. Hosanna. Holy Lord. Holy Lord. Come to the name of the Lord. Let us all kneel. Now boys and girls. As you kneel. This is the moment to ask God to send this Holy Spirit upon you.  Upon our country. Our leaders, our nation. So just as the Holy Spirit will transform bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. You too can be transformed. Believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit. You I need to hold your Lord the fount of all holiness. Make holy therefore these gifts we pray. By sending down your Spirit upon them let it do fall. So that they may become for us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the time he was betrayed. And entered willingly into his passion. He took bread and given thanks, broke it. And gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and eat of it. For this is my body which will be given up for you. In a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice. Once more given thanks. He gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it. For this is the chalice of my blood. The blood of the new and eternal covenant. Which will be poured out for you and for many. For the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me. Now boys and girls I wanted to pray especially for your teachers.  Pray for them now ask God to bless them. And to give them the patience they need to educate you. Therefore as we celebrate memorial of his death and resurrection. We offer you Lord the bread of life and the chalice of salvation. Giving thanks that you've held us worthy to be in your presence and ministry. Humbly we pray that partaking of the body and blood of Christ. May be guarded into one by the Holy Spirit. Let us now pray for our Holy Father the Pope for our Archbishop. Pray for all of the priests, deacons, lay leaders. Remember Lord your church spread throughout the world. And bring her to the fullness of charity. Together with Francis our Pope Gabriel our Archbishop. The College of Bishops of the Caribbean region of the world. The clergy, religious, seminarians, lay leaders, parents, children. All of us who form your family. And now we're going to pray for all the the margarite followers, leaders, kings, queens and others who've died. Remember them now and ask the Lord to grant them eternal rest. Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of their resurrection. And all who have died in your mercy. Welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all we pray. And with the blessed Virgin Mary, mother of God. With blessed Joseph, a spouse, with the blessed Apostles.

Children, only those who have made their first communion should come up to receive communion. Remember, if you have not made your first communion yet, you should not come up. And those who are coming up, if you want to receive communion, place your hands, cup your hands, one hand over the other. You receive the communion with one hand and take it and eat it with the other.

Others who have received Jesus in your heart spiritually, this is a moment for you to pause and to ask Jesus to give you a heart like His. So let's just be silent in the moment now and pray in your heart now. Ask Jesus whom some we've received and others whom we've received spiritually. Tell Him, speak to Him, speak to Jesus, you can speak to Jesus. He's in your heart, He can hear you. Tell Him, give me a heart like yours. Give me a heart like yours. I now invite the library, my great group, to lead us in the meditation song.  Turn us away from the cares of this fleeting world. So that following the example of blessed Margaret Mary Anacor, we may grow in sincere love for you on earth and rejoice to behold you for eternity in heaven through Christ our Lord.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today I am back with another destiny 2 video and today I bring you some all-new Exotics as well as a few old ones returning from destiny one But hey guys if you do enjoy the video hitting that like button truly helps me and my channel out and I do appreciate that support Okay, so now before we get into the confirmed exotics last night I was sent an image you may have seen it you may not have and it's on screen now This image is part of a warm mind DLC to set on the PlayStation store Now you may be noticing a few interesting things about this image Firstly, but not the main concern is the weapon the Titan is holding at the forefront of this image This is one unique looking weapon for sure It's also the very same weapon Anna Bray has within the war mines cinematic as you can see on the screen now So what is this weapon now at the moment? We have seen a few different styles of new weapon designs the Bray Wolf weapons and the Ikeles weapons This in my opinion is definitely not one that Ikeles weapons It just doesn't match that design theme of those much like the sleeper simulant the Bray Wolf ones though I ain't sure we've only seen a couple of these and they don't really match this what hair could be wrong It's definitely a weapon of interest or considering Anna Bray uses it herself. Is it a new exotic? I won't say it is because I actually don't know but it could be But it would be interesting even if it wasn't a new exotic that there was some kind of secret quest to unlock this Along with a variety of other weapons too, but you said they want to bring back mystery to the game They want people to once again have that feeling of finding clues to on an ox much like what we had with the Black spindle and the outbreak prime things actually missing scheme It also kind of reminds me of the raid layer one weapons So this indeed could be a raid layer two weapon possibly that kind of makes sense But guys we will see now enough about that on to the point and that is the weapon being held in the background by the Warlock I believe it's kind of hard to see up on the first glance. I thought this was the sleeper simulant I mean that weapon making a return would be no surprise to anyone the whole Ikeles weapon range looked just like the sleeper But then I started seeing many people say it's just a shotgun which indeed does look a lot like this So let's try and solve this mystery. Is it a shotgun? Is it the sleeper or is it something else? Well on screen now, we can see the shotgun now It's quite clear to me that whatever this weapon is it isn't the shotgun the design along the weapon is completely Indifferent also the site is way way off. I mean it doesn't use up many brain cells to figure this out That's for sure. There isn't even need for a closer look. This is definitely not the shotgun So let's get an image up of the sleeper simulant from destiny one I mean hey people they kind of look almost Identical in every single way the shape of the body the diamonds along the weapon both top and bottom match perfectly The points around the nose of the weapon the site is at the exact angle and also the mere size of the weapon I think this one hundred percent is that of the sleeper simulant or some kind of variant of it There's no doubt in my mind I mean it might have a different name to match the other Ikeles weapons Maybe it's a weapon rewarded for collecting the other Ikeles weapons So you have to collect them all first and then you are given a secret quest to complete the set and get this variant Other sleeper simulant who knows although I don't agree on all the exotics being locked behind a certain amount of grind considering We already ground for the weapon within destiny one But hey might be slightly different to the sleeper it may perform differently We don't know but this without doubt in my opinion guys look exactly like the sleeper simulants What do you think? Let me know down below Okay, so we're going to move on and if you didn't see these covers yesterday, but almost everybody I will have you covered right now. So there are a few old exotics returning We have the apotheosis veil for the warlock. We have the armamentarium chest piece for the titan We have the claws at ahamkara for the warlock. We have the eternal warrior for the titan We have the frost e5 sort of hunter. We have the sealed ahamkara grasp sort of hunter And we have the suzure gene which I love this new look looks absolutely great for sure And this is one of the returning exotics I cannot wait to get my hands on within destiny two. We then have a few new ones We have the huckleberry which is in the simg kind of gives off that text mechanical look in my opinion Loving the design of this though for sure. We then have the actual weight gauntlets for the titan Not the best looking in my opinion. We then have the sanguine alchemy chest piece for the warlock looking pretty decent Not gonna lie. We then have this amazing looking chest piece for the hunter called the aphidia spaef I believe that's pronounced looking absolutely epic as hell We then have the oculus rolls for the warlock which is basically a hive mask Does look cool or it really does We then have the worm god caress for the titan and I believe these again look absolutely incredible And then to top it all off my favorite the new exotics we have seen so far The hunter ham called the worm husk crown. I mean just look at this thing absolutely amazing Now at the moment people we don't know the perks and benefits of these new exotics and what they will offer That is still news to conform me, but when we do find that guys Oh, have you covered here on my channel as per usual and guys on that note We have come to the end of the video if you enjoyed it leaving a like truly helps me out Thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully people I will see you on that next one


Good morning. Welcome to Moments with Melinda, and I am your host, Melinda Moulton. And today I have Luella Bryant as my guest. Ellie, how are you doing? Hi, Melinda. I'm great. Thanks. Good. I want to thank you so much for coming on my show. I don't always have a guest back a second time within a year, but I believe you're my second... This is the second time I've interviewed you, and today we're going to talk about your new novel, Sheltering Angel, extraordinary book. But let me tell my viewers a little bit about you. For 20 years, Ellie taught high school English and a dozen years she served on the faculty of Spalding University's MFA in writing program in Louisville. She is the author of eight books, including five historical novels, a story collection, a memoir, and a biography set during the Vietnam era. Her stories, essays, and poems have won awards and are included in numerous anthologies and magazines. Currently, Ellie runs a writing workshop and works as an independent editor helping emerging writers get their ideas into the world. Thank you, Ellie, for all that you do. Now, your new book, Sheltering Angel, has just been released to raving reviews. And by the way, to my viewers, you can visit Ellie's website at Luella Bryant dot com. That's L-O-U-E-L-L-A-B-R-Y-A-N-T dot com. And I suggest you visit the website because it's beautiful and it's fascinating. And I might sign up for the newsletter, which comes out the first of every month. Which I just did today. Oh, good. Just signed up. You'll see me there. This might be my second or third time that I've signed up. So, it's grand to have you with us this morning to talk about your book, which was just recently released. So let's just jump in. Your new novel, Sheltering Angel, this is a fictionalized true story of Florence Cummings and a working class ship steward Andrew Cunningham and their serendipitous intermingled lives aboard the Titanic. Ellie, can you share with us why you chose to tell the story, which I believe is quite personal to you? Yeah, I will. I've been married to my husband for 34 years and we were together for four years before that. And since then, so 38 years ago, I started hearing from his mother about her grandmother who lived in New York City and was on board the Titanic in first class. And as, you know, the directive was women and children. First, she was put in a lifeboat. Number four, with other first class women, including Madeleine Aster and the Thayers and Mrs. Weidner and several other notable women. And the husbands had to stay on board the ship.  And she recognizes him as her steward, Andrew Cunningham. And she pulls him aboard, saving his life. And my mother-in-law went around her area in, on the North Shore in Massachusetts, talking to schoolchildren about her grandmother with whom she lived when she wasn't at boarding school and showing news clippings and pictures and just generating interest. And I thought that that should really be a story. So I started writing it immediately as a young adult book. And then the more I got into it, the more it sounded like an adult book. And it's now listed on Amazon as historical literary fiction, which pleases me immensely. Oh, absolutely. So at what point did that story enter your brain to start writing this? I mean, how many years ago did you did all of a sudden in this moment where you said, boy, that's a story I want to write. And you decided to do that. When was that? How long ago? That's a really good question, Melinda. I had it in my mind to write the story for, you know, 38 years, but I started the research eight years ago. And I just immersed myself. And there's a lot of information about the Titanic and Titanic passengers. And there's still a lot, I don't know, but I researched every day for eight years to sort of unpack whatever happened on the Titanic and why it was such a disaster. And what it all means, because it's become a metaphor for life. And we can talk more about that too, if you have a question about that. A metaphor for life. Well, let me let me backtrack just for a second. So your husband, Harrison's great grandmother, was Florence Cummings. And did he ever meet his grandmother, his great grandmother? No, she died before he was born. But her youngest son inherited their place in Maine, in York, Maine. And so he visited that place several times, was able to describe it to me. So her youngest son would have been, which son would that have been? I'll show you, if you'd like to see. So this is a photograph. And the one, the woman in the middle is Florence Cummings. And on her left is John Bradley, who was the oldest son called Jackie in the book. And on her right is Wells, the middle son, and he's in the book. And then Thayer is the youngest. And when they went to, when they went on the ship to Europe, they decided to leave the boys at home with nannies or au pairs. And this is a tragic story. I think I may write also. And that is Wells, when he was 18, and graduated from boarding school, and went to the same boarding school, his brothers and his father went to, he joined the army because World War One had begun. And he was killed in his first battle in World War One. And I have a whole file of letters that his older brother, John Bradley, wrote home to their mother. And it's almost a book in itself. It's just, it's just powerful. How John Bradley went to, Wells is buried in France, in an American cemetery in France in rural, I think. And he went there and laid flowers on the grave shortly after he was buried there. So that's a compelling story in itself. So Thayer would have been Harry's grandfather. No, John Bradley was. John Bradley was, okay, was his grandfather. Thayer was his great uncle. Great uncle. Okay, great. So now, Ellie, you say in your books that Florence spoke very little about the night of the when the Titanic went down. So how did you track down all of this information that you used to tell this deeply personal and engaging story? Well, first I watched the movie A Night to Remember, and then I read the book. And if you've seen that movie about, I don't know, maybe 10 minutes into it or so, there's a scene in a lifeboat where a Scottish man is holding one of his mates and he says in a Scottish accent, hold on, rescue is coming, we're almost there. And I truly believe that's Andrew Cunningham in the movie. Holding Sid. Holding Sid, right? Yeah. And that's actually in the book. The book, I think the book was written after the movie came out and that frequently happens like with Star Wars, for example. Well, the movie was, the movie was the one with Clifton Webb, right? Made back in the 1930s. It was the Clifton Webb. Yeah, absolutely. Yes. And so, Walter Lord, who wrote the script for the movie, was able to interview a lot of the survivors from the Titanic. So although this book, I think is, it says minute by minute story of the sinking. I don't know if this is fiction or nonfiction. I'm not sure, but it reads like nonfiction. And it's really well documented. We're going to get into talk about how you treat the sinking of the Titanic in your book in a minute. So Florence Cummings. Now, I don't want to tell too much about the story. I certainly don't want to give the ending away, although people know some of the ending. But Florence Cummings and Andrew Cunningham, her steward on the boat, developed a deep and meaningful friendship. And that would have been unacceptable during that period where the upper crust did not commingle with the other classes. But in this book, you cover a lot about common humanity. Can you talk about that? That actually, thank you for asking that. That's sort of a theme of all my books. And I guess because I grew up in Virginia and my parents' ancestors were moonshiners, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. And my husband, Harry, is Boston, Blue Blood, Harvard, boarding school, upper class. And so I don't know why he was attracted to me, I guess, because we're so different and yet we think alike. And so I thought, well, let's just investigate this idea of classes.  She saw no differences among humanity. And Florence was like that as well, according to my mother-in-law. So that kind of affected me. And at the end of Sheltering Angel, Florence gets invited to the Astor Mansion for a luncheon and she brings Andrew with her. And I've read somewhere that that actually happened. There is a New York Times article that says that Florence went there. And it would make sense that she would take Andrew because he is the only person in New York who understands the depth of her sorrow and understands the incredible disaster they both went through. So I've included him there. And it feels authentic to me. The other thing about the Titanic is it reminds me very much of the Pequod in Moby Dick where you have the entire of humanity on it. So you have the richest of the rich in the upper and the first class. You have the officers, the staff of the Titanic. You have second and there's third class down in steerage. And then you have the firemen down in the boiler room where it's 160 degrees and they're filthy and shoveling coal into the furnaces. So all classes are on this ship, as well as people from all over the world who came to buy a ticket for this amazing new ship. So I thought it was a perfect example to sort of extend my idea of how when it comes to fate, that whole concept of humanity versus nature, nature really doesn't care how much money you have or how much fame you have. You're all literally in the same boat when it comes to nature and nature's decisions about what happens to you. Here, here. Ellie, talk to us a bit about your research using the 1912 Senate investigation transcripts of the Titanic tragedy where Andrew Cunningham testified. Oh, that's an interesting story too. So here's a book of the, it's a transcript. And I went through the table of contents and saw that there was a guy named Andrew Cunningham who was a steward on the Titanic. And I, so I went to his testimony and he did testify that among his passengers, for whom he was responsible, were Florence and Bradley Cummings. So that authenticated what, you know, what his, my husband's mother had been talking about. And then he goes on to talk about mostly their experience in the lifeboat. He doesn't say that she pulled him in, but we got that directly from her through Harry's mother and literally saved his life. And what, what's really amazing, and this will get to your question I'm sure about the sheltering angel, when Andrew went to see the doctor, he was asked questions like, how long were you in the water? And Andrew said about a half an hour. I swam for about a half a mile to get to this lifeboat and the doctor just shook his head and said, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have survived. Your lungs are perfectly clear. You, you get hypothermia in 28 degree water in 10 or 15 minutes. And yet he was in the water twice that length. So how in the world did he survive? And no one has the answer to that question. So actually this book was categorized on Amazon as in a, in the supernatural category, but it's absolutely all true. So well, I also know that he swam on the boat, that he was a swimmer. And I don't know if the water in the pool was heated or if they use, you know, sea water, but he, and he was, and he was, it seems like he was an extraordinary athlete, but Ellie, would you, would you mind reading a little bit from your book, Sheltering Angel? I would read a little bit from when Florence and Bradley are at Cherbourg waiting to board the Titanic or this is how, how it came about that they were on the Titanic. They're at a hotel and they're having breakfast waiting for the Titanic to arrive, which is late for, for a couple of reasons. I allowed my gaze to wander to the window in the harbor outside. The sky is red this morning. I said, what's the saying? Bradley buzzed the saying about the red sky in the morning. Sailors take warning. He didn't bother looking up. We're scheduled to sail today in just a few hours. In fact, I'm afraid not. What do you mean? Says here in the newspaper, there's a coal strike affecting England and all of Europe. A coal strike. I hope the strike wouldn't reach New York. Worst news, darling. Most cruise ships have been docked, not enough coal to fuel the engines. Oceanic is one of those out of commission. But we have tickets for the oceanic. He folded the paper and laid it next to his plate. We may be stranded in Europe for a while. Bradley, we have to get home. There must be some way. He looked at me as faced without humor. There is one slim chance. A new white starship has been allowed enough coal for a transatlantic crossing. How new? He glanced at the article again. If you're willing to book passage on the maiden voyage, we can leave tonight. I'd heard cautions against maiden voyages. At the very least, there would be wrinkles to iron out. I didn't want to think about the very worst. Is there a risk? Folklore, flurry. Every ship has to have a first launch, and very few of them have ended up in Davy Jones' locker. His eyebrows arched with optimism. In fact, a first cruise is always a festive affair with parties and flowing champagne. And you might spot a celebrity. A maiden voyage on a white starship will win you bragging rights for years. I didn't need bragging rights. I wasn't a braggard. I just wanted to get home to our sons. What's the name of this new ship? I believe it's he ran a finger over the newsprint. RMS Titanic. Titanic, I repeated. I drew a breath and blew it out under red sky morning. Wow. I know college. Well, we know what happens. We do know what happens, Ellie. I've kind of lost my thing here. I'm trying to get myself back up here. I can talk a little bit if you like. Yeah, talk a little bit. I'm getting right back to my screen here. So, talk to me a little bit. Many of the ancestors of those on the Titanic gave their permission for you to use the names. Can you talk a little bit about that? Yeah, I think that's really important, even especially in nonfiction, but even in fiction if somebody recognizes themselves. And it's also just a courtesy if you're writing fiction. So, I contacted all the members of the Cummings clan that I could find, all of whom gave me permission to use Bradley and Florence's real names. I was not able to find any of the descendants of Andrew Cunningham, unfortunately, and I've searched and searched. I did find the great, great, great grandson of Bradley Cummings' business partner. And he knew nothing about his ancestor and was very eager to read the book. His name is Albert Mark Wald, who was a stockbroker in New York and partnered with Bradley, just a lovely man. But I did was able to find some of Sid Sebert's relatives, great nephews and one great niece, all of whom gave me permission. And then most of the other passengers who are mentioned are in the public domain. And so I didn't bother. I did change a few names of people, passengers who I couldn't contact, whose relatives I couldn't contact. And so I changed their names because they may not appear in the best light in the book. Right. Well, I'm going to talk to you about that. So the captain of the ship, Captain Edward Smith, I felt that he received some form of forgiveness for the fatal tragedy because you state that he would have lost his job if he had not listened to J. Bruce Ismay, the owner of the cruise line, who insisted that the Titanic keep going full speed as it headed into the previously warmed ice flow. And Ismay lived through the tragedy and was considered one of the most hated men in America at the time. But I felt like you gave Captain Smith a bit of a buy that he was listening to Ismay. And if he had any, probably would have lost his job. Well, that's true. And this was his last cruise anyway, he was going to retire after this. But you have to listen to the guy who runs the company, who is his boss ultimately. But there were other reasons besides trying to win the blue ribbon, which is the award for being the fastest ship to cross the Atlantic. The other reason was because of this coal strike, they had loaded wet coal on the Titanic. And there was a fire in some of the bunkers. And Andrew saw it. And the hull of the ship had been compromised. And the fireman said, if you slow down, it will take that much more coal to get up to speed again. So they were shoveling this hot burning coal into the furnaces as fast as they could. And they had just enough to reach New York. And if they had to slow down, they might have run out of coal. And then I don't know what would have happened in that case. But you know, most ships who got ice warnings would stop completely and just drift. And then if they bumped into an iceberg, no harm would come. But starting up again takes a great deal of coal to get back up to speed. Well, the man at the wheel of the Titanic when it hit the iceberg was quartermaster Robert Hitchens. And he was accused of refusing to return to rescue passengers after taking charge of a lifeboat. Talk to us a little bit about Robert Hitchens. Yeah, I don't know a lot about him, but I know that he, I think the Duff Gordon's were in that lifeboat. And there's some controversy about whether Duff Gordon paid the rowers not to pick up people or whether they just didn't realize they were supposed to pick up people. But in any event, we know that Mr. Duff Gordon paid these rowers once they got on the rescue ship. Now, whether he paid them to help them get their lives started or whether he paid them as the favor for not picking up people in the water is unclear. If you read, there's a novel out about the Duff Gordon's and that book tends to look at them favorably. My research shows they were really not very nice people. Well, here on that, I'll stand with you on that. So now you, you also have in your book, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, we all know about there was a play made about her in a movie, and she helped to raise money for the second class survivors who were mostly women and children and whose husbands went down with the ship. And I love the way you cover it. You don't cover a lot in the book, but I love the fact that that bit of history is in your book. Yeah. Margaret Brown was, you know, she was sort of a rough, rough edged woman. She didn't, you know, really know all the etiquette that you were supposed to use on the Titanic in first class. But she had a way of getting things done. And she didn't care what people thought about her. She was who she was. And I admired that about her. So here's a woman who, you know, has, who's transcended the whole concept of class and come into first class and been accepted, maybe because she has money, but also because of her, her interior strength. She was an incredibly strong woman who stood up for the lower classes. And I admired that about her. Thomas Andrew was the architect of the Titanic. 2,224 people were on board and the boat sank within two hours and 40 minutes. 1,500 people died making it the deadliest peacetime maritime disaster ever in history. Right? And that's why there's been so many extraordinary books, yours being, I think, the most recent and one of the most extraordinary. There were at least six warnings of sea ice on the 14th of April and the ship was traveling at 22 knots. You do an extraordinary job taking the reader from the events on the evening of April 14th through the ensuing realities of this tragedy. Talk to us about how writing this impacted you, because for me, you placed us all in that moment and you're writing so captures every detail in such a way that I was very so emotionally moved. I mean, chills and weeping. This must have been a deeply emotional book for you to write. Well, it was. I mean, you know, one of the first books in Harry's mom gave me this book, The Girl Who Came Home, which is a book that begins. It's about a steward. It's not my steward. And I think it's based on a true story, but it begins right as they're boarding the Titanic. But I wanted people to get to know these characters before they got on the ship. So you can actually feel the loss. You can actually feel what's what's at stake for them. So the book starts out when Andrew and Florence are both young adults and they fall in love and they're a couple of with other people. They fall in love with other people. Thank you. Yeah, because he's in he's in England and she's in Boston first and then New York. And so you get to know them and you get to know their characters a little bit. And there are a lot of similarities between them. They both work for to help people. Florence works in the shelter houses in the inner city, making sure that women can read, especially immigrant women and prostitutes, making sure they have health coverage and sanitation and baths and and trying to get them legitimate jobs. And Andrew, of course, his whole life is about service. And where Bradley went to boarding school at St. George's School service was the most important thing you can do in life. And I stress that at the very end of the book. And so Florence was very much like that. And when she died in 1947, I think it was 47, she left money to several charities, including orphanages for for homeless children.  Now so much has been written about the Titanic and several movies have been made. Your book is one of deep and rich dialogue. It's almost a script. It's almost a script. And the descriptions are so vivid, colorful and masterfully drawn on every page. I definitely could see a your book Sheltering Angel as a movie. Do you see this? As I think somebody could take this book and turn it into a script quite easily. Well, let that be James Cameron, please. I don't know. I know. I can see I would I would love to see Ridley Scott or or who's the wonderful man who did the who did the new Pinocchio cartoon.  I mean, Cameron had his chance and he made he did the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, right? What's interesting about James Cameron and I found research on this is that he still has all the models of the Titanic that were used in that movie. And the largest model, which was scaled, it was huge. The only place he could find to store it was in a huge warehouse in Italy. It's still there. And then some of the smaller models that that he used for for filming are in warehouses in California. So why would he hold on to these unless he was thinking maybe he'd find a use for them again? Oh, maybe maybe a number two. But I found that the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, there was something. I mean, I was not a big fan of that movie. I I see your your book as being very easily to script and turn into a into a powerful film. And so anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I as a person who's you know, been in a movie making, I think somebody should look into that. Now, your book Sheltering Angel is a love story. It's a testimony to friendship, courage, endurance, class struggle, female bonding, unearthly loss and sorrow. And it touches on all of our human senses. Andrew Cunningham is the steward on the ship who befriends Florie Cummings. I believe I believe she is his sheltering angel. But then maybe Andrew is her sheltering angel. Where do we land on this, Ellie? I you know, I want to shoot that question back to you actually, because I came across the quote, which begins the book about the the Celtic blessing about the sheltering angel. And then the sheltering angel appears to Andrew while he's in the water. And he's losing his energy and he's starting to feel numb. And then he hears that blessing. And he takes off and starts swimming, not only is he swimming, but he's dragging his mate Sid with him. And Sid, of course, is pulled into the lifeboat as well. So, you know, I'd like to leave that interpretation about who was sheltering whom up to the reader. I think we need to leave some space for the reader to enter, you know, those those book groups to say who they thought was the sheltering angel. Well, I believe they both were. I think they both were one in the same. They were both the angel that somehow took the two of them and brought their souls together because she certainly he would not have lived without her. And I don't think he would have lived without him. And I love the fact that they continued to see each other, not in a love relationship. Although in today's world, who knows if either one of them had not been married, they might have ended up, you know, being married and having a family together. But back in those days, that didn't happen because of class. But I think that they both sheltered each other in a way that helped them to survive. And they saw each other going forward any time he was in New York and saw her, which that friendship endured. And so it's so beautiful and it's so rich. And so I would just say one thing about that. And this may be the fault of my writing, but a lot of people didn't get that at the very end when Andrew says goodbye to Flory, he says the same words that Bradley said to her. And he feels a familiarity. He uses her pet name, Flory, with her. And my idea was that he is channeling her husband coming through Andrew to get back to his wife. And I guess I didn't make that clear enough because a lot of people didn't get that. But to me, that was one of the reasons that that Florence and Andrew remained friends because, you know, and the other thing that's amazing about this, and that I think I think I also mentioned in the book is that Andrew's clan, Scottish clan, and Bradley's ancient Scottish clan of his ancestors were, they were friends and allies against Robert the Bruce. And there's another book I have to write. But because they were actually there's a sheaf of wheat on each of their shields to represent the close friendship between them. So one of my ideas that I probably could have emphasized a little better is that Bradley coming through Andrew to get back to the woman he most loved in his life. Yeah, I didn't get that. What I got was that in that moment of him going to her house and meeting the boys that he felt now that the class distinction had gone away, that what they had been through had made them equals and he was no longer her steward. He was a man who who held great love and affection for her. And so he he then said, flory, you know, my darling.  But I think there was this love connection between them, even from the very beginning when they met, just it could have been a soul connection. And that then when he shows up in New York, and he's invited into her house that it all just they just they just give it all up. And he's showing his his affection for her. But I'll go I'll go with, you know, her husband spirit coming through him. But I just want to tell you, to my viewers out there, Luella Bryant has written an extraordinary book. And you can get it in all of your and all the local bookstores. You can get it online too. But, you know, support our local bookstores. And Ellie, until we meet again, thank you for giving the world this book. And I do hope it's made into a movie because I think it's richer and more deeply profoundly important than and it goes back to the 1930 Clifton Web story, which was so powerful. And I think that we need another story about the Titanic that has that kind of depth and beauty. So I hope someday this is made into a movie, my friend. Thank you so much for your time, Ellie. Thank you, Melinda. It's always a pleasure. It's always a pleasure to see you. And to my viewers, I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving. And I'm wishing you a happy holiday. And I will see you shortly. Take care, everybody.
