Oh. That was so... depressing. It makes me want to squee like the secret slasherific fangirl that I am. I mean, it was adorably saccharine, and all, but then when you go, **, he married a lady and the other one offed himself, it's kinda like... damn, that sucks. Well-written, though. I like it.

I thought Clark married Judith... he named the river after her...

But whatever. I love the idea of those two, for some reason. Historians are probably forming a mob outside, complete with torches y pitchforks, but seeing as Lewis was the first historically important emo, he really ought to follow the stereotype and be gay. Seriously. The textbook was all, "He courted many women, but never married. Then he killed himself." And I was all, pssh, he's SO gay. He's totally rolling in his grave right now, hating me for even thinking about typing this. But I don't particularly care. He's totally my second favorite old dead guy. Anyway. Nicely written.

Poor thing.
Merriwether is a sad ol' chap.

This is alot better than I had expected. Please write more, I’m interested to see what will happen next.
