Deciphering the exchange [exchange shelters] betwixt Maggie H and Q of late.
Couple of spotlights:
HANDLER (CONDUCTOR)
=
CHARON [the ferryman across the Styx]
TURNED. [see Maggie Thatcher phrase]
C.O.L.D. [Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease]
Charon and River Styx

Maggie Thatcher, "The lady is not for turning".
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_lady%27s_not_for_turning]
C.O.L.D.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_lung_disease
"Types of obstructive lung disease include; asthma, bronchiectasis, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)."
That would really cut deeply, for Maggie H, whose mother-in-law died of COLD/COPD.
OBIT - Clare Gregorian
https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?n=clare-gregorian&pid=188878161&fhid=2058
She died at home in New York City, surrounded by family, following a lengthy struggle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Clare was 80 years old.
Clare is survived by her husband and their three sons: Vahe Gregorian (wife, Cindy Billhartz); Raffi (wife, Olga Palinkasev); and Dareh (wife, Maggie Haberman). She is also survived by five grandchildren: Juan, Maximus, Sophie, Miri, and Dashiell.
In service to country, sometimes warriors have to be "glorious bastards", harsh but true.
Cheers,
Allspeed Anons.
