Well, it's been 2 days since the chubbyemu pesticide diaper episode dropped, and BF and I have both compared it to something mostly unrelated since, so I guess that's in our house's cultural consciousness now

How To Get Washable Marker Off Skin

A. How to Get Pen and Permanent Marker Off of Skin

It is almost incredible how many problems children can get with a single marker. One minute they are happily doodling on a piece of paper, and the next they are getting themselves (or their brothers) fake tattoos and a face full of felt makeup. Fortunately (for you and her) not even permanent ink is permanent with the right tools and tricks. Here’s what to do to remove the pen or permanent marker from your skin – or yours.

1. Tips for removing pen or permanent marker from your skin

You can be comforted to know that ink from a permanent marker or pen fades naturally over time – two to three days, according to the Northern New England Poison Center. Even if you do nothing, your child’s skin will soon return to its original condition. In some cases, e.g. For example, if the marker is on an inconspicuous part of the body, doing nothing may be preferable to other methods, as certain products or rubbing repeatedly can be more irritating to the skin.

“Soap and water help with normal hand washing, and the rest eventually dissolves after a number of baths,” said Erin Kravitz, who has a young daughter, to Mom.com. “Most things are soaked in the bathtub, especially with the help of a cloth.”

2. Removal of skin blemishes with household products

However, if you can’t or don’t want to wait for the ink to disappear on its own, these suggestions can help. A general note: like most other spots, the ink on the skin is easier to remove when it is relatively fresh. So if you can put your child in the bathtub, or at least near a sink, you can quickly get better results.

a. Soap and water

If the ink stains in question are water-based – you’re in luck! – They should be quite easy to remove during the normal bath. Water-based paints are often used in washable markers for children, such as: B. Crayola, who recommends good old soap and water to erase accidental body art.

“Typically, Crayola washable products can be removed from the skin by washing with soap and water,” says the company’s website. “If soap and water don’t work, try wet wipes, baby oil or make-up remover. Since crayons are water-based washable products, keeping the area around the stain moist can help remove it. ”

b. Baby wipes

Crayola recommended wet wipes for more resistant and washable stains can also be used with ballpoint pen ink or permanent marker. And because they are formulated for babies, they are probably softer on your child’s skin than some other home remedies you can find on the Internet.

c. Baby oil

Baby oil is commonly used to remove makeup and temporary tattoos. So it makes sense that people would also recommend it for ink stains. According to Healthline, baby oil “adheres to excess skin oil and removes all substances” – possibly including a permanent marker. The website suggests applying a small amount of oil to the area and then washing it off.

d. Milk

It sounds strange, but a home remedy that Good Housekeeping mentions to remove permanent skin stains is to put a cotton ball in the milk and rub over the stain. There have been mixed analyzes of the effectiveness of this method – some say it is better to remove stains from fabrics and upholstery – but if you happen to have a little milk on hand, it probably doesn’t hurt to try.

3. Other methods

Many people say that alcohol is the key to ink stains, but you need to exercise caution. Alcohol can be easily inhaled or absorbed through the skin, creating a risk of isopropyl alcohol poisoning. Children are particularly at risk, which is why the American Academy of Pediatrics on its website HealthyChildren.org emphasizes that alcohol should never be used to lower a child’s fever. If you have a permanent mark on your skin, a small amount of alcohol in a cotton ball – used in a well-ventilated area! – it may be good, but for children or stains that cover large parts of the body, it is better to try something different or let the paint fade naturally.

  B. Removing Permanent Marker from Your Skin

We offer products that we believe are useful to our readers. If you buy through the links on this page, we can earn a small commission. Here is our process. The ink happens. From time to time, it is possible to get permanent ink on your skin. Unlike tattoo ink, which is actually embedded in your skin, permanent ink – think of sharp markers – just touches the surface. This means that it will disappear over a few days. However, there may be ways to remove permanent marker stains from your skin a little faster. Watch out for so-called remedies that can do more harm than good to your skin – you may accidentally get more than one permanent marker.

1. Remove the permanent marker from the skin

According to the Northern New England Poison Center, it can take two to three days for the permanent marker to disappear from the skin on its own. If you want to remove the marker a little faster, you can also incorporate one of the following methods into your washing routine. You will probably have to repeat these methods several times before you see the results. There are also aggressive ingredients that you don’t want to apply to your skin. This includes baking soda and bleach. Also, do not use ingredients that may have an allergic reaction.

a. Sea salt shell

Sea salt has natural exfoliating properties. When mixing with warm water, you can make a gentle exfoliation to exfoliate the top layer of the skin. Mix equal parts of salt water and warm water to make a paste. Gently massage the scrub into your skin – but don’t rub it – twice a day.

b. Olive oil or coconut oil

If you have olive oil or coconut oil at home, apply a small amount to your skin and rub gently before rinsing. These oils can help to bind to your epidermis. In theory, the oil can adhere to the permanent marker marks on your skin and help to remove them smoothly.

c. Baby oil

The idea behind mineral oil, or baby oil, is that it can adhere to excess skin oil and remove any substances. In theory, this would also work with permanent stains. Apply a small amount of oil to the affected area and then wash and rinse as normal. However, be careful if you have acne-prone skin, as applying extra oils can lead to subsequent rashes.

d. Whitening toothpaste

The same properties of toothpaste that help lighten surface stains on teeth can also lighten permanent marker points on your skin. Use this method twice a day. As a bonus, you can even use a new toothbrush to exfoliate. Massage gently in a circular motion around the colored skin and rinse well.

e. Chemical-based remover

Household chemical removers can remove permanent marker pigment when you are in an emergency. These include:

Isopropyl Alcohol

Nail polish remover

Hand sanitizer

You can use this up to twice a day. Apply a small amount with a cotton ball and rinse with warm water.

f. Make up remover

Makeup remover can be another solution to remove permanent marks from your skin. This is also a less harsh option compared to household chemical removers. Apply with a cotton ball and massage in a circular motion for a few seconds. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

2. Is the ink not healthy for the skin?

Traditional permanent markers found in office supply stores are not intended for your skin. In fact, permanent markers contain ingredients considered to be toxic, such as resin, xylene and toluene. If these markers come into contact with your skin, they may be slightly irritated. Symptoms include redness, swelling and itching. Permanent marker vapors can also irritate the eyes, nose and throat.

3. Safer ink for the skin

Accidental marking with permanent ink is unlikely to cause adverse symptoms. With that said, you don’t want to purposely put a permanent marker on your skin. If you are interested in markers for your skin for sports or tattoos, find markers that are designed specifically for the skin. They are also waterproof, but, unlike their traditional marker, they do not contain toxic ingredients.

The permanent marker will eventually disappear from the pores with regular washing and natural oils. However, if you want to remove marker stains a little faster, consider the home remedies above. However, be careful not to use substances that you are allergic to or sensitive to. Consult a doctor if you develop rashes or swelling due to permanent marker marks on the skin.

  C. How to Get Crayola Markers Off Your Kids Skin

Then you bought your child a set of Crayola markers. They just wanted to get Picasso out of him. The next thing you know, he’s just messing up his skin with them. Freaky? You shouldn’t be. Pencil markers are made in such a way that, although your child uses his whole body with drawing paper, he can easily remove it from the skin. And that is what we are focusing on today. We’ll show you how to easily remove Crayola markers from your child’s skin.

1. Ways to remove markers from children’s skin

There are several methods that can be used to easily remove the marker from your child’s skin. While some may work, others may not. That’s why we talk about all the effective ones.

a. Method 1: using soap and water

Most Crayola markers are washable. You can try using soap and water to improve the situation. If you can only use the method when the spot on your child’s skin is recent, it will work best.

Use warm water to moisturize your skin first. Next, you need to use a clean towel and add some detergent.

Now rub the stain in a circular motion while proceeding smoothly. This trick will help you to remove almost all the stain. To make sure it is completely erased, you will need to clean the area several times.

b. Method 2: using disinfectants

Hand sanitizer is very useful for removing stains from markers. When we say disinfectant, we mean that it is “alcohol” that does the trick.

This works perfectly as a catalyst for removing paint. Because they are “HAND SANITIZERS”, they are also kind to the skin.

Enough talk, let’s see how it works. First, you need to apply a small amount of disinfectant to your child’s skin. You will see the ink reactivate. Clean it with a cotton ball.

When you’re done, just rub the skin to remove the marks.

c. Method 3: makeup remover

Who said makeup removers can only be used to get rid of makeup? You can also use them to remove Crayola markers from your child’s skin. In addition, it is one of the safest methods to use when aiming at the eye area.

To do this, you need to use a cotton ball and put some remover on it. Now, carefully clean the stains. You can also use the remover to remove ink stains.

Once you’re done, it’s time to rinse your skin with warm water.

d. Method 4: baby wipes

To remove difficult but washable stains, the Crayola team recommends the wipes themselves. Remember, they don’t work with permanent markers.

However, baby wipes are the most delicate alternative to everything else, as they are only made for babies and toddlers.

e. Method 5: baby oil

Of course, if you have a baby in your home with your child, you also have baby oil in your home. Use it as a quick alternative to remove the marks.

Your child already has excess oil on his skin. What baby oil does is basically sticking to excess oils while removing stains. The best part? You can also use baby oil to remove permanent markers.

f. Method 6: using milk

You read that right, “milk”. This will help you to clean these marks. Knowing how to properly apply milk to your child’s skin can also help remove permanent stains.

However, you will hear mixed reviews on the subject. There are mothers who say that applying milk only works if the stain is on the upholstery or on the fabrics. On the other hand, we have no problem with trying your child’s hand.

2. Here are some that are not for you

Now we talk about rubbing hand sanitizer and they have alcohol, even though it’s just a tiny portion. You will find that some people try to remove alcohol on their own to clean the stains, and yes, it also works. However, when applying it to your child’s skin, you must also take the necessary care. You should know that the skin absorbs alcohol very quickly, which can lead to isopropyl alcohol poisoning.

Your child’s skin is delicate and if you rub the alcohol carelessly, there is a chance that the skin will be vulnerable to withstand the reaction. Therefore, even when applying it, you should use only a very small portion and rub with a cotton ball.

3. Summary

Well, that was all there was to remove Crayola markers from your son’s skin. We talked about all the effective methods here so you can choose the method that best suits you. Don’t worry, one of these will definitely work for you, no matter what. But remember that we do not recommend drinking alcohol unless it is really necessary.

(1/2) Hello! I suppose I should send this question to your Ayn Rand blog, objectivistnerd, but it appears to be on a hiatus: Did Gail Wynand kill himself at the end of The Fountainhead? The possibility of it didn't strike me when I read the book, but then I read a few reviews mentioning his death. Also, the 1st prize essay for The Fountainhead Essay Contest 2015 said that "Gail died the man who could have been". Looking over the last scene he appears in, there does appear to be textual evidence

(2/2) hinting that Wynand was going to commit suicide (ct. Chapter 19): his was “a face known, closed, and never to be reached again”,“a face that held […] the stamp of the next step, when even pain is renounced”, and the allusion to a figure atop a medieval tomb; he will never see or communicate with Roark again; and that “there’s no one” to whom Roark could return the original investment. Suicide isn’t a Randian thing, but if Wynand wasn’t going to die why should he not see Roark ever again?

This reply took so long for the same reason @objectivistnerd was on hiatus for so long: because I am lazy and generally bad at finishing effortposts.

When I read the book, I didn’t get the impression that Gail was going to kill himself. This is significant in part because I watched the movie first (yes, yes, I know). My impression was more that he would go on living and managing the remains of his media empire, which would not be a particularly long endeavor given his age.

In the screenplay, however, Gail did kill himself, before Roark had even left the room after their last meeting. Considering Rand wrote the screenplay, it’s pretty explicit that Gail is not long for this earth.

Additionally. there are many contextual clues which suggests that his days are numbered. That said, he strongly implies that he intends to live at least long enough to see the Wynand Building constructed:

“I wish it understood that I shall not have to see you. There will be an agent to represent me in all technical and financial matters. You will deal with him. You will hold all further conferences with him. Let him know what contractors you prefer chosen for the job. If you find it necessary to communicate with me, you will do it through the agent.”

To me, this says Gail isn’t going to kill himself himself immediately, but it’s also clear that his own mortality is on his mind. A few paragraphs later, he says:

“It is an open secret that the so-called Wynand Empire is dead. It is sound and doing as well as ever throughout the country, with the exception of New York City. It will last my lifetime. But it will end with me. I intend to liquidate a great part of it. You will, therefore, have no reason to limit yourself by any considerations of cost in your design of the building. You are free to make it cost whatever you find necessary. The building will remain long after the newsreels and tabloids are gone.”

At several points beforehand the Wynand empire is likened to Wynand’s life. When he buys out the Banner and ends the strike:

Wynand stood by his chair at the head of the table. He looked like a drawing from a men”s magazine, fastidiously groomed, a white handkerchief in the breast pocket of his dark suit. The directors caught themselves in peculiar thoughts: some of British tailors, others—of the House of Lords—of the Tower of London—of the executed English King—or was it a Chancellor?—who had died so well.

A few paragraphs later, one of the director’s says, “[y]ou ain’t what you used to be”:

Wynand thought: I never used to be, I’ve never been here, why are you afraid to look at me? Don’t you know that I’m the least among you? The half-naked women in the Sunday supplement, the babies in the rotogravure section, the editorials on park squirrels, they were your souls given expression, the straight stuff of your souls—but where was mine?

Those unfamiliar with Rand might not appreciate how significant such a statement really is. Objectivists take the word selfless literally. Altruism is death, and Gail is coming to terms with the fact that he never really lived. He spent years catering to the hoi polloi’s whims, and when he finally took up a crusade of his own, got burned for it.

“Wynand, you know it’s that—or you have to close the Banner. You can’t keep this up, even if you bought us all out. Give in or close the Banner. You better give in.”

Wynand heard that. He had heard it through all the speeches. He had heard it for days before the meeting. He knew it better than any man present. Close the Banner.

He saw a single picture: the new masthead rising over the door of the Gazette.

“You had better give in.”

He made a step back. It was not a wall behind him. It was only the side of his chair.

He thought of the moment in his bedroom when he had almost pulled the trigger. He knew he was pulling it now.

“All right,” he said.

Closing the Banner is spiritually equivalent to suicide, is what that last paragraph is saying. Remember, our first introduction begins with Gail holding a gun to his temple.

The passage where Gail wanders the New York at dusk really needs to be read in it’s entirety. I was tempted to quote the whole thing—disjointed thoughts, symbolic imagery, Gail’s internal monologue, all of it. Here’s an attempt to summarize:

It’s only a bottle cap, thought Wynand looking down at a speck of glitter under his feet; a bottle cap ground into the pavement. The pavements of New York are full of things like that—bottle caps, safety pins, campaign buttons, sink chains; sometimes—lost jewels; it’s all alike now, flattened, ground in; it makes the pavement sparkle at night. The fertilizer of a city. Someone drank the bottle empty and threw the cap away. How many cars have passed over it? Could one retrieve it now? Could one kneel and dig with bare hands and tear it out again? I had no right to hope for escape. I had no right to kneel and seek redemption. Millions of years ago, when the earth was being born, there were living things like me: flies caught in resin that became amber, animals caught in ooze that became rock. I am a man of the twentieth century and I became a bit of tin in the pavements, for the trucks of New York to roll over.

[…]

My city, he thought, the city I loved, the city I thought I ruled.

[…]

My masters, the anonymous, the unselected. They gave me a penthouse, an office, a yacht. To them, to any one of them who wished, for the sum of three cents, I sold Howard Roark.

[…]

He was in Hell’s Kitchen.

The facades of the buildings around him were like the walls of secret backyards suddenly exposed: decay without reticence, past the need of privacy or shame. He heard shrieks coming from a saloon on the corner; he could not tell whether it was joy or brawling.

He stood in the middle of the street. He looked slowly down the mouth of every dark crevice, up the streaked walls, to the windows, to the roofs.

I never got out of here.

I never got out. I surrendered to the grocery man—to the deck hands on the ferryboat—to the owner of the poolroom. You don’t run things around here. You’ve never run things anywhere, Gail Wynand. You’ve only added yourself to the things they ran.

Then he looked up, across the city, to the shapes of the great skyscrapers. He saw a string of lights rising unsupported in black space, a glowing pinnacle anchored to nothing, a small, brilliant square hanging detached in the sky. He knew the famous buildings to which these belonged, he could reconstruct their forms in space. He thought, you’re my judges and my witnesses. You rise, unhindered, above the sagging roofs. You shoot your gracious tension to the stars, out of the slack, the tired, the accidental. The eyes one mile out on the ocean will see none of this and none of this will matter, but you will be the presence of the city. As down the centuries, a few men stand in lonely rectitude that we may look and say, there is a human race behind us. One can’t escape from you, the streets change, but one looks up and there you stand, unchanged. You have seen me walking through the streets tonight. You have seen all my steps and all my years. It’s you that I’ve betrayed. For I was born to be one of you.

[…]

He stopped. He saw a paper out spread in the gutter before him, front page up. It was the Banner. He saw Roark’s picture. He saw the gray print of a rubber heel across Roark’s face.

He bent, his body folding itself down slowly, with both knees, both arms, and picked up the paper. He folded the front page and put it in his pocket. He walked on.

An unknown rubber heel, somewhere in the city, on an unknown foot that I released to march.

I released the all. I made every one of those who destroyed me. There is a beast on earth, dammed safely by its own impotence. I broke the dam. They would have remained helpless. They can produce nothing. I gave them the weapon. I gave them my strength, my energy, my living power. I created a great voice and let them dictate the words. The woman who threw the beet leaves in my face had a right to do it. I made it possible for her.

Anything may be betrayed, anyone may be forgiven. But not those who lack the courage of their own greatness. Alvah Scarret can be forgiven. He had nothing to betray. Mitchel Layton can be forgiven. But not I. I was not born to be a second-hander.

At this point, Gail has realized and accepted that everything he’s worked for, his entire life, has been a lie. He wanted power, but never held it. He wanted influence, but could only amplify the mob’s whims, not direct them. Defending Roark in the Banner was an attempt to redeem his second-hand life, using the entire apparatus for something he knew was good and right. But it failed, like it was destined to fail. Virtue is independent of outside perception.

At this point, we come back to the issue of suicide. I don’t think that self-destruction is necessarily anti-Objectivist.

In Atlas Shrugged, suicides are mentioned frequently, and almost exclusively by people who we’re supposed to support. A nameless inventor after Directive 10-289. Cherryl Brooks when she realizes how evil her husband really is. John Galt even states flatly that he’d kill himself to prevent any harm coming to Dagny.

If achieving your values is impossible, then ending your life is considered a potentially rational choice. Cherryl and the nameless inventor were wrong, but in context they couldn’t know that. Galt may have been right, but the issue never came up. Suffice to say that suicide may be justified on the Objectivist grounds.

To complicate matters: Gail Wynand is old. This that era, even healthy men rarely lived past their mid-sixties. He hasn’t achieved any of his values, with the possible exception of marrying Dominique, and there isn’t much time to start anew. Maybe ten years, fifteen if he is extremely fortunate.

I think this is important. Gail’s age was brought up in several places. On his way to see the site of the house Roark builds for him:

Something tore past across his vision, and he was a mile away before he thought how strange it was that he should have noticed it, because it had only been a clump of weeds by the road; a mile later he realized it was stranger still: the weeds were green. Not in the middle of winter, he thought, and then he understood, surprised, that it was not winter any longer. He had been very busy the past few weeks; he had not had time to notice. Now he saw it, hanging over the fields around him, a hint of green, like a whisper. He heard three statements in his mind, in precise succession, like interlocking gears: It’s spring—I wonder if I have many left to see—I am fifty-five years old.

This is our first indication that Gail might expire naturally within a few years. He contemplates his mortality:

They were statements, not emotions; he felt nothing, neither eagerness nor fear. But he knew it was strange that he should experience a sense of time; he had never thought of his age in relation to any measure, he had never defined his position on a limited course, he had not thought or a course nor of limits. He had been Gail Wynand and he stood still, like this car, and the years had sped past him, like this earth, like the motor within him had controlled the flight of years.

No, he thought, I regret nothing. There have been things I missed, but I ask no questions, because i have loved it, such as it has been, even the moments of emptiness, even the unanswered—and that I love it, that is the unanswered in my life. But I loved it.

If it were true, that old legend about appearing before a supreme judge and naming one’s record, I would offer, with all my pride, not any act I committed, but one thing I have never done on this earth: that I never sought an outside sanction. I would stand and say: I am Gail Wynand, the man who has committed every crime except the foremost one: that of ascribing futility to the wonderful fact of existence and seeking justification beyond myself. This is my pride: that now, thinking of the end, I do not cry like all the men of my age: but what was the use and the meaning? I was the use and the meaning, I, Gail Wynand. That I lived and that I acted.

In this light, his ending is all the more tragic. He really thought he could get away with it. He really thought that he had lived an independent intellectual life when, in fact, he had been playing along for years.

Gail’s past is brought up again and again throughout this section, emphasizing that he never really progressed. He’s still Stretch Wynand from Hell’s Kitchen and  secretly knows it.

There’s another passage, when he fires Toohey, that also gets the point across. Once again we see the equation of the Banner and Gail’s life:

He heard a rumble, the vibration in the walls of his office, in the floor. The presses were running off his afternoon paper, a small tabloid, the Clarion. He smiled at the sound. His hands went faster, as if the sound were energy pumped into his fingers.

He had dropped his usual editorial “we.” He wrote: “… And if my readers or my enemies wish to laugh at me over this incident, I shall accept it and consider it the payment of a debt incurred. I have deserved it.”

He thought: It’s the heart of this building, beating—what time is it?—do I really hear it or is it my own heart?—once, a doctor put the ends of his stethoscope into my ears and let me hear my own heartbeats—it sounded just like this—he said I was a healthy animal and good for many years—for many … years …

“I have foisted upon my readers a contemptible blackguard whose spiritual stature is my only excuse. I had not reached a degree of contempt for society such as would permit me to consider him dangerous. I am still holding on to a respect for my fellow men sufficient to let me say that Ellsworth Toohey cannot be a menace.”

They say sound never dies, but travels on in space—what happens to a man’s heartbeats?—so many in fifty-six years—could they be gathered again, in some sort of condenser, and put to use once more? If they were re-broadcast, would the result be the beating of those presses?

“But I have sponsored him under the masthead of my paper, and if public penance is a strange, humiliating act to perform in our modern age, such is the punishment I impose upon myself hereby.”

Not fifty-six years of those soft little drops of sound a man never hears, each single and final, not like a comma, but like a period, a long string of periods on a page, gathered to feed those presses—not fifty-six, but thirty-one, the other twenty-five went to make me ready—I was twenty-five when I raised the new masthead over the door—Publishers don’t change the name of a paper—This one does—The New York Banner—Gail Wynand’s Banner …

“I ask the forgiveness of every man who has ever read this paper.”

A healthy animal—and that which comes from me is healthy—I must bring that doctor here and have him listen to those presses—he’ll grin in his good, smug, satisfied way, doctors like a specimen of perfect health occasionally, it’s rare enough—I must give him a treat—the healthiest sound he’s ever heard—and he’ll say the Banner is good for many years.

The juxtaposition of the apostasy, Gail’s heartbeat, and the Banner—it’s no coincidence. Gail is writing for his life, trying to redeem himself. But as we saw above, it doesn’t work.

I think Gail might have gone on living if Dominique had stayed with him. But that was thematically impossible, both because she loved Roark and because Gail would have no longer been able to accept undeserved love.

Notably, Gail accepts Dominique’s infidelity as penance for his own failure:

Wynand drove to his country house. Dominique was there, waiting for him.

She stood up as he entered the room. She stepped forward, so that there would be no furniture between them; she wished him to see her whole body. He stood across the empty space and looked at her as if he were observing them both at one, an impartial spectator who saw Dominique and a man facing her, but no Gail Wynand.

“Well, I’ve given you a story that will build you circulation, Gail.”

He had heard, but he looked as if nothing of the present were relevant. He looked like a bank teller balancing a stranger’s account that had been overdrawn and had to be closed. He said:

“I would like only to know this: if you’ll tell me: that was the first time since our marriage?

“Yes.”

“But it was not the first time?”

“No. He was the first man who had me.”

[…]

“He loved you.”

“Yes.”

“Yet he built this house for us.”

“Yes.”

“I only wanted to know.”

He turned to leave.

“God damn you!” she cried. “If you can take it like this, you had no right to become what you became!”

“That’s why I’m taking it.”

He walked out the room. He closed the door softly.

That’s it. Gail lost everything. His paper, his wife, and “the one encounter in my life that can never be repeated.” And he’s not even mad about it.

It’s tragic, in part, because it was inevitable from the start. Roark was the one man that Wynand never managed to break. Gail said it himself: 

[T]here’s not a man living whom I can’t force to do—anything. Anything I choose. The man I couldn’t break would destroy me. But I’ve spent years finding out how safe I am.”

It turns out that he wasn’t so safe after all. Gail tried to break Howard, and Howard brushed it off easily, almost casually. Howard played Gail’s latent virtue off himself—”Is this what you want?” “Good God, no!”—and that was that. 

Howard became Gail’s friend thanks to the same virtues which saved him from Dwight Carson’s fate. That same integrity showed that a better life was possible, and Gail’s attempts to redeem himself in other’s eyes broke him. His life was less than it could have been. His choices were wrong.

In summary, I think that is a wealth of textual evidence to support that conclusion that Gail Wynand dies shortly after The Fountainhead closes. While this could occur through “natural” causes i.e. losing a general will to live, I think active suicide is more likely. He will probably wait to see the Wynand Building erected and his estate largely liquidated, but I think the general direction points towards death in the near future.

How to choose your perfect wedding fragrance…

The flags are flying, excitement is mounting, and everyone in the fragrance world is wondering which fragrances HRH Harry and (soon-to-be HRH) Meghan have chosen for their wedding…

But a more pertient question is to ask: how on earth should you go about choosing the perfect scent for your ‘big day’ (or any special occasion) anyway?

Follow our guide to choosing his and/or her scents to create an olfactory memory that will last a lifetime…

– It’s vital to live with a fragrance for several hours (better still – an entire day) on your skin. That scent you spritz and immediately fall for may turn into something less than loveable as the notes develop.

– The very best way to try is in the comfort of your own home, with zero pressure, scroll down to our hand-picked selection of samples for you try, below (they’re perfect for bridesmaids gifts and wedding favours, too!)

– Try not to test more than a few fragrances at one time, because too many at once = a muddle (and you’ll likely forget which is which, anyway!)
