Robertson Davies Fifth Business Fifth Business Definition: Those Roles Which, Being Neither Those of Hero Nor Heroine, Confidant
Robertson Davies Fifth Business Fifth Business Definition: Those roles which, being neither those of Hero nor Heroine, Confidante nor Villain, but which were nonetheless essential to bring about the Recognition or the denouement, were called the Fifth Business in drama and opera companies organized according to the old style; the player who acted these parts was often referred to as Fifth Business. —Tho. Overskou, Den Daaske Skueplads I. Mrs. Dempster 1 My lifelong involvement with Mrs. Dempster began at 8 o’clock p.m. on the 27th of December, 1908, at which time I was ten years and seven months old. I am able to date the occasion with complete certainty because that afternoon I had been sledding with my lifelong friend and enemy Percy Boyd Staunton, and we had quarrelled, because his fine new Christmas sled would not go as fast as my old one. Snow was never heavy in our part of the world, but this Christmas it had been plentiful enough almost to cover the tallest spears of dried grass in the fields; in such snow his sled with its tall runners and foolish steering apparatus was clumsy and apt to stick, whereas my low-slung old affair would almost have slid on grass without snow. The afternoon had been humiliating for him, and when Percy as humiliated he was vindictive. His parents were rich, his clothes were fine, and his mittens were of skin and came from a store in the city, whereas mine were knitted by my mother; it was manifestly wrong, therefore, that his splendid sled should not go faster than mine, and when such injustice showed itself Percy became cranky. -

HORTICULTURAL SHOWS & OTHER EVENTS URBAN FERNS AROUND MANCHESTER MUSEUM – 28 July Dave Bishop On the last Saturday in July, BPS Secretary Yvonne Golding gave a presentation on Urban Ferns to members of the public and three BPS members at Manchester Museum. Around 15 people attended. Yvonne first gave an introduction to the BPS from its formation in 1891 to the current day. Following on from this we saw an excellent video The Secret Life of Ferns, which explains the complicated fern life-cycle in a simple and understandable way. We then put this knowledge into practice when we were shown how to grow ferns from spores and we were able to examine a selection of living prothalli, which many people present had never seen before. After tea we saw a slide-show of ferns in urban environments, including some exotic species living in a London basement (courtesy of John Edgington), native species living in Oxford drains (Nick Hards), York downpipes (Alison and Liz Evans), Sheffield cemeteries, the back streets of Scarborough, Manchester walls and Edinburgh men’s toilets. After the show we went on a short walk around the Museum, finding ferns growing on walls, in drains and gutters, along downpipes and even on an old extractor fan. We soon found eight species: Asplenium ruta-muraria, A. scolopendrium, A. trichomanes, Athyrium filix-femina, Dryopteris dilatata, D. filix-mas, Polypodium vulgare and not forgetting Equisetum arvense. Yvonne and I then went to the pub as it was my birthday! Having seen John Edgington’s photo of forked spleenwort in London, I’ve been scouring the streets of Manchester in search of equally exciting ferns. -
