It had been months since mines on the estate had closed with the promise of new health and safety measures that never seemed to occur. Nevertheless the master insisted he had waited long enough. “It is essential that all children get back to work,” he said. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Despite his frequent crimes and misdemeanors, the master was always loyal to his Fool. In part, this reflected the amusement he found in espying his own image tattooed on his Fool’s backside. But there was also the matter of their shared Secret. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Feast of St Veronica. According to pious legend she was a woman who encountered Christ as he labored under the weight of the cross on his way to Golgotha. Moved by compassion she wiped his face with her veil, which later, miraculously, bore the imprint of his features. (McGrath)

There is no indication that Veronica was a disciple of Jesus. She simply responded compassionately to a man in pain and anguish, a convicted felon on his way to death. She wiped his face with her veil. And in the miraculous image left behind he revealed his true identity.

Stung by the charge that his memory was slipping the master recited the entire alphabet, identified pictures of animals and drew a clock. His manservant, witnessing the display, said, “That’s an unbelievable thing. Rarely does anyone do what you just did.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The origins of the Hunger Games—now a beloved tradition on the estate—were obscure. The master had defeated his siblings, as had his father before him. Now, with a new generation: who would have the wit, luck, and lack of empathy to become the next Master? #TolstoysTalesofTrump
