I just thought you might like to know that I just used, without shame, the phrase 'By your powers combined, I am... A SANDWICH.' And it completely made sense. And then I realised what I'd said.
I'm also eating my Captain Sandwich while scouring the internet for someone to tell me what the hell you did with people who'd died in a small fishing village in Cornwall in 1812. I mean, before you bury them - specifically, they've just died at home, what did you do first? Did you fetch the doctor for someone who's already dead? Did you lay them out at home or did someone take them away? Who talked to the priest? Who took them to the church to be buried, and when? Was there a pre-burial wake in those days or would they have been in more of a hurry to bury the body? And in terms of the storyline I'm trying to do, if it's obvious they've been stabbed up and they're a suspected smuggling family, is now the time for the widow and daughter to panic about Customs investigations, or will nobody official care?
Anyway, this has led me to several wikipedia articles about death that are probably not your average lunchtime reading. 'Body snatching through the ages' was a good one.
