Back then, it seems like there were only two or three degrees of separation, hunh? Love the Laughton bath tub article and have been moved by Michael Llewelyn Davis's story since "The Lost Boys". Forbidden lovers drown in a suicide pact is a very romantic trope, especially given the homophobic horrors of that period, but I actually think it's more probable that Brooks went to save Davis, who grabbed him around the arms, as the drowning so often do. Tragis either way.
It seems inconceivable to me that any scholar knows more about MG than you. You should do the definitive biography and be hiored to lecture on mid-late 20th century CanLit.
More wonderful MG lore. Thanks!
