Mrs Hamilton: if it were up to me, you'd be out of a job

Mr Garland: then I am very happy it's not up to you

Mr Hamilton:

Give Toby Hamilton a puppy

So I saw this in an anon ask to @santiagosnart (hope its okay to tag?) ages ago and I thought I'd have a go at this

It's before the hotel is bombed, a completely unremarkable day. Freddie is away at base, toby and lady hamilton are having breakfast as they almost always do

Until

Emma comes in with what looks like a rather large hat box

A rather large hat box that's squeaking

Toby is super confused and he looks over at his mother thinking she'll be the same but she's got this excited look and she's smiling of all things

And toby's just so confused

Emma gives him the box and so he opens it

To find

This tiny little labrador puppy

Who is just so excited to be let out of that fucking box

So naturally the first thing she (the puppy) does is thank toby by giving him a big lick on his cheek

The second thing she does is try to steal the rest of his breakfast but lady hamilton is not having that

The puppy was her idea though, she's tired of her son being alone all the time

And yeah a dog isn't really a substitute for an actual person but she'll take what she can get for now

When toby goes to work she cries for hours and no one's really sure what to do

So they close her in toby's room, thinking it might be comforting

And she's just... left there... all day

When toby gets home it looks like MI5 have gone through his stuff again

And there's his puppy in the middle of it chewing up one of his pillows

Toby's just glad he took all the important papers to work cause how the fuck did she get on the desk??

When she sees him she flings herself at him

But she trips over her paws midway

Walking is hard when your paws are almost as big as the rest of you okay?

So toby picks her up and holy shit she's just so happy to see him that he almost drops her

Then there's a soft knock at the door and adil comes in

He looks from toby to the crazy wriggly puppy to the rest of the room

And they both just burst out laughing because this pup is an absolute menace but she's adorable and toby's not even mad

Mrs Hobbs mutters later that of course he wouldn't be mad, he doesn't have to clean it up

In the meantime though, the puppy sees there is a new person in the room and she's gonna greet him immediately

Except she's forgotten toby's still holding her and she very nearly fall on her face

But it's okay! Cause now she can meet adil!

Adil is now her second favourite person

Except for the fact he keeps stealing toby

At night when the boys are sleeping with their feet tangled together she drapes herself over their ankles

She’s decided she's never gonna use her dog bed and toby doesn't mind, she's warm

And this is fine, until she gets bigger

Then she cuts the circulation off to their feet

So she finds a new spot

Right in between toby and adil

She doesn't understand why they won't let her sleep there

When adil isn't there, she steals his spot

She gets banned from the kitchen after she eats half a wedding cake and steals part of the main course

Max thinks it's a shame she has no manners cause she's a really sweet dog

Robbie doesn't like her much when he's working but after a shift he'll give her some of the leftover scraps when he thinks no one is looking

Everyone knows though

Since the staff have decided that locking the dog in a room is a bad idea, she basically gets to go anywhere she likes in the hotel when toby's at work

Except the kitchen

And the hotel rooms

Mr garland complains that she needs training

But he secretly enjoys her company

Sometimes she lays on top of his feet in his office when he's working

But usually she lays down near the bar and keeps tom and adil company while they prepare for the evening

The staff all basically love her

Except Mrs Hobbs

That crazy bitch has given her more work in the last two months than all the guests she's cleaned up after since she started working at the halcyon

But when toby comes home she's with him immediately, jumping up and demanding his attention

The guests have mixed opinions on this but toby couldn't care less

Lady Hamilton resents that the puppy likes mr garland more than her

When freddie first meets the puppy she's been living with toby for a little over a month

When he comes in the door she rushes up to him thinking it might be toby

But she stops before she jumps up, cause no that's not her toby this is a stranger

And freddie is confused cause since when was there a badly trained labrador at the halcyon?

Emma quickly fills him in

The puppy isn't a big fan of Emma, she put her in a box

Who knew that dogs held grudges?

They're getting better though

Then toby shows up and the puppy flings herself at him in her usual way

And freddie is equal parts horrified and amused

I could come up with more but this is starting to get pretty long. I might make a part two if people are interested? Also if anyone wants to come up with a name for the puppy that’d be amazing?

So... I’ve got a theory.

In the “The Halcyon” we are left with lots and lots of questions about what would happen next, but today I started wondering if maybe there was a articular reason for the bomb that fell on top of our favourite 40s London hotel.

There is that moment that Mr. Garland is covering for Lady Hamilton kill, and he is seen upstairs’ smoking a cigarette in Mr. D’Abberville’s room, we see it two times: first at the beginning of the show, second when it’s actually happening. The thing that struck me the most the first time I watched that scene was how he carelessly dropped a lit cigarette in a period were most of the fixtures were wood and there were many carpets and heavy blinds. My first thought actually was “idiot you are gonna start a fire!” and that was it. I was quite a bit confused even after contextualising the scene. Why would he lit a cigarette and drop it to the floor? It was maybe to burn the body? 

But then it hit me: during the war the Luftwaffe used every bit of light they could find to attack major cities under the blackout, we are shown in one of the episode how they bombarded London during the day to use the fires that the incendiary bombs had ignited to bomb London once more during the night. So, the fire that most probably Mr. Garland lit was a beacon for the enemy who managed to drop a bomb right on our hotel.

So this is my theory: in a way Mr. Garland could be responsible for the tragedy that hit the hotel in the last minutes of the show. He did not drop the bomb but he led the Germans right on top of the hotel.

Republicans dig in over Supreme Court

[ad_1]

Republican leaders are digging in on their refusal to consider President Barack Obama’s pick to fill a US Supreme Court vacancy as the two sides ramp up campaigns to turn the stand-off into an election issue.

Mitch McConnell, the Republican Senate majority leader, underscored his determination to give no consideration to the judge Mr Obama last week nominated — not even between the…
