    Summary

    “What’s the lecture on?” Henry asks, letting himself relax as the smell of soap reaches him. “Liked that one you did about lichens. Very soothing.”

    “Soporific, even,” Goodsir replies, with a hint of amusement. “You’re fortunate not to snore, or even more of my students would lobby for your removal than already do.”

    “You’d never make me leave,” says Henry. He knows that, if nothing else.

    Summary

    Harry Goodsir's life, imagined as a garden of forking paths. It's 1848 and he is dying in a tent on King William Island. It's 1849 and he is having yet another tiresome argument with the administration of Surgeons' Hall over funding for the museum while he waits for his friend Edward Forbes to return from the Arctic. It's 1854 and he's serving in the Crimea with James Fitzjames. It's 1861 and he is collecting butterflies under the watchful eyes of asylum orderlies. It's 1870 and he is walking on the beach near Fife with his children. It's 1886 and Silna holds his hand as he breathes his last. All of these things are true.

    It is somewhat curious to notice that we can thus conceive of an existence relative to which that which we enjoy must exist as a mere abstraction.
        —Charles H. Hinton, "What Is the Fourth Dimension?"

    Nothing of him that doth fade,
    But doth suffer a sea-change
    Into something rich and strange.
        —William Shakespeare, The Tempest, I.2

    Summary

    If Sasha is to have any hope of uncovering the identity of Dr. Loboto's employer, he'll first need to do some serious decluttering in the man's chaotic subconscious.

    Meticulous as he is, Sasha can't help getting sidetracked by the mental reorganization process, and he soon finds himself fully absorbed in the task of putting Caligosto's mind to rights.

    Summary

    Where Goodsir came from there is no permafrost, and soft, deep soil, for all those trees, those forests from which they craft their umiat, to flourish in. They fashion wooden coffins, and tear into the earth so as to inter their deceased in far-down graves, where none might innocently pick up a sun-bleached bone while thinking it to be that of an animal's, and then be required to whistle kukkukiaq for having so intimately touched human death.

    Summary

    Hawkeye has trouble figuring out what 'home' means, after the War. Sidney enrolls him in a long-term clinical trial to help him process his trauma and adjust to civilian life. He finds letter writing therapeutic, and tries to stay in touch with all of his friends from the 4077.

    Father Mulcahy is trying to repair the discriminatory divide at his new parish, where the large Deaf population is not being heard by the hearing population. BJ is not able to build the perfect domestic life, like he hoped. Trapper is researching the polio vaccine for children. Margaret is going to medical school, Charles is going to the symphony, Radar is working at a hospital, Frank needs the same attention Hawkeye is getting. Hawkeye realizes the maladjustment is mutual; it makes him feel better to know he's making someone else feel better.
