The journal records Ewing’s encounter with Dr. Henry Goose, a surgeon entangled in scandal and a planned public reckoning involving dental fixtures and accusations of cannibalism. The text also portrays shipyard labor and evolving community interactions, framing travel, empire, and moral consequences through vivid, stylized voices.","1  \nCLOUD ATLAS  \nDAVID MITCHELL  \nFOR HANA AND HER GRANDPARENTS  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS  \nManuel Berri, Susan M.

Michael King’s definitive work on the Moriori, A Land Apart, provides afactual account of Chatham Islands history Certain scenes in Robert Fro-bisher’s letters owe debts of inspiration to Delius: As I Knew Him by Eric Fenby (Icon Books, 1966; originally G. Bell & Sons Ltd., 1936). The character Vyvyan Ayrs quotes Nietzsche more freely than he admits, and the poem read by Hester Van Zandt to Margo Roker is Emerson’s “Brahma.”  \n2  \nTHE PACIFIC JOURNAL OF ADAM EWING  \nThursday, 7th November—  \nBeyond the Indian hamlet, upon a forlorn strand, I happened on a trail of recent footprints. Through rotting kelp, sea cocoa-nuts & bamboo, the tracks led me to their maker, a White man, his trow-zers & Pea-jacket rolled up, sporting a kempt beard & an outsized Beaver, shoveling & sifting the cindery sand with a teaspoon so intently that he noticed me only after I had hailed him from ten yards away. Thus it was, I made the acquaintance of Dr. Henry Goose, surgeon to the London nobility. His nationality was no surprise. If there be any eyrie so desolate, or isle so remote, that one may there resort unchallenged by an Englishman, ’tis not down on any map I ever saw.  \nHad the doctor misplaced anything on that dismal shore? Could I render assistance? Dr. Goose shook his head, knotted loose his ’kerchief & displayed its contents with clear pride.“Teeth, sir, are the enameled grails of the quest in hand. In days gone by this Arcadian strand was acannibals’ banqueting hall, yes, where the strong engorged themselves on the weak. The teeth, they spat out, as you or I would expel cherry stones. But these base molars, sir, shall be transmuted to gold & how? An artisan of Piccadilly who fashions denture sets for the nobility pays handsomely for human gnashers. Do you know the price a quarter pound will earn, sir?”I confessed I did not.  \n“Nor shall I enlighten you, sir, for ’tis a professional secret!” He tapped his nose.“Mr. Ewing, are you acquainted with Marchioness Grace of Mayfair? No? The better for you, for she is a corpse in petticoats. Five years have passed since this harridan besmirched my name, yes, with imputations that resulted in my being blackballed from Society” Dr. Goose looked out to sea.“My peregrinations began in that dark hour.”  \nI expressed sympathy with the doctor’s plight.  \n“I thank you, sir, I thank you, but these ivories”—he shook his ’kerchief—“are my angels of redemption. Permit me to elucidate. The Marchioness wears dental fixtures fashioned by the aforementioned doctor. Next yuletide, just as that scented She-Donkey is addressing her Ambassadors’ Ball, I, Henry Goose, yes, I shall arise & declare to one & all that our hostess masticates with cannibals’ gnashers! Sir Hubert will challenge me, predictably, ‘Furnish your evidence,’ that boor shall roar, ‘or grant me satisfaction!’ I shall declare, ‘Evidence, Sir Hubert? Why, I gathered your mother’s teeth myselffrom the spittoon of the South Pacific! Here, sir, here are some of their fellows!’ & fling these very teeth into her tortoiseshell soup tureen & that, sir, that will grant me my satisfaction! The twittering wits will scald the icy Marchioness in their news sheets & by next season she shall be fortunate to receive an invitation to a Poorhouse Ball!”  \nIn haste, I bade Henry Goose a good day. I fancy he is a Bedlamite.  \nFriday, 8th November—  \nIn the rude shipyard beneath my window, work progresses on the jibboom, under Mr. Sykes’s directorship.
