please everyone im looking for that letter where he goes 'dear sir, im a miserable slut for not writing you sooner' 🙏
#hmmm so this is becoming a philological problem#since we don't have the original manuscript we have to gauge what could be the probable reading#slug would be a lectio facilior i.e. the easier reading bc it fits the context + it makes sense and it's the safer option#slut would be a lectio difficilior i.e. the more difficult reading bc it fits the context + but you strain to reconcile the charged meaning#with the overall context and you have to look for obscure meanings to justify this reading#and usually if you have to go to such lengths to defend a complicated reading without having the original text you usually write the simpler#reading and put the more complicated one on a footnote with explanations#next step would be doing a paleographic study of t and g in Lawrence's letters to try to guess what could be the most probable writing

“While filming ‘Lawrence Of Arabia’, O’Toole organised a date for Omar Sharif with “sex-swap pioneer” April Ashley. When Sharif found out that, um, all was not as it appeared, he chased O’Toole around the house with a meat cleaver.“
now I’m not sure how legit that little piece of history is but if it happened then all i can say is splendid
(supposedly they both slept with April Ashley and were very fond of her, however, so I assume Omar wouldn’t have been so angry. still though.)
