MEH.
Moses the merchant becomes Moses the lecturer. Moves from 13 Saint Kevin's St Dublin to a country house in western Massachusetts. A man of business become a man of unsent letters.
ER.
Edward a lord of the manor on the North York Moors becomes a wealthy carefree traveller in Spanish Town, Jamaica, offered £30,000 to marry. He does of course, who wouldn't. More fool him.
RB.
Poor old long suffering Rhett, professional black sheep of Charleston and latterly Atlanta is revived but briefly to find he has a child born in Ireland to a woman he has not knowingly had sex with for years and whom he had left with a frankly brilliant exit line. But the frankly was added for the film version.
GENERAL
Of course prequels and sequels are ten a penny (or rather very much more than that ) in cinema and RB and ER are prequeled - but by different writers - JJ's MEH is retasked completely by SB. Who got the biggest shock? Did MEH (did SB borrow that added middle initial from Michael E. Geraghty) know of Freud? (check Wikipedia) - but maybe - Jewish after all - did MEH ever get the final instalment of the bill (25 shillings and 6 pence). Did SB copy SB? No no no.
