magess:flintbysilver:I beg your pardon. He just… seems so out of place here. Like someone I might have known back home in London. He may easily have been. His parents were Levelers in Kensington. Spoke out against impressment, kidnappings. Printed pamphlets from their home. Insisted that Billy was lettered so that he could understand the cause and contribute. That winter, when the press gangs came through town, they found Billy distributing those pamphlets in the street. I suppose they found it funny, snatching him and leaving only the pamphlets for his parents to find. “Who’s Billy?” indeed, you liar. -- source link
