What happens when two character's whose main contribution to the plot is getting into car crashes meet? They race each other, of course. 16 dead, 78 injured, millions in property damage

Mr. Bliss is an illustrated children's story by J.R.R. Tolkien, published in 1982. It tells the story of Mr. Bliss and his first ride in his new motor-car. Many adventures follow: encounters with bears, angry neighbours, irate shopkeepers, and assorted collisions. As some of you might realize, It was inspired by Tolkien's own vehicular mishaps with his first car. It was written and illustrated by Tolkien himself. "Gaffer Gamgee" and "Sergeant Boffin" would have their namesakes reappear in Lord of the Rings.

"Mr. Bliss got into the motor-car and started off. Soon he asked himself:

“Where are you going to, Mr. Bliss?”

“I don’t know, Mr. Bliss” he answered himself.

“Let’s go and visit the Dorkinses, and give them a surprise!”

“Very well!” said Mr. Bliss to himself, “very well!”

So he turned sharp to the right at the next turning, and ran straight into Mr. Day, coming from his garden with a barrow-load of cabbages. This shows what happened

i love the way china sorrows and mr bliss's names compliment each others imo that's a much more fun way to show characters are related than giving them the same chosen last name sorry darklys and it adds to the mystery and we know how much derek loves a relative twist

anyway i love a naming scheme
