I'll tell you a secret... my name 'Sam' is short for 'Samson'.

it's not lost on me that it's santos who keeps checking in on whitaker, asking if he's okay, if he's sure he's okay, knowing he's had a patient die and is having the worst possible shift a med student can have. that it's santos who follows him when he goes upstairs instead of leaving at the end of their shift. santos who's just revealed she had friend who killed herself

Round Four:

Norwich pattern books

These happy-looking books from the 18th century contain records. Not your regular historical records - who had died or was born, or how much was spent on bread and beer - but a record of cloth patterns available for purchase by customers. They survive from cloth producers in Norwich, England, and they are truly one of a kind: a showcase of cloth slips with handwritten numbers next to them for easy reference. The two lower images are from a pattern book of the Norwich cloth manufacturer John Kelly, who had such copies shipped to overseas customers in the 1760s. Hundreds of these beautiful objects must have circulated in 18th-century Europe, but they were almost all destroyed. The ones that do survive paint a colourful picture of a trade that made John and his colleagues very rich.

Pics: the top two images are from an 18th-century Norwich pattern book shown here; the lower ones are from a copy kept in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (item 67-1885), more here.
