Good for you being able to admit you were mistaken about him, Eliza!
And don’t go hurting yourself with the dashing heroics there, Henry. Izzy won’t be happy if you come back injured.
“But it was dashing and heroic! I had to do it!”
Wasn’t that where ‘enry got shot?
Oh, good point! That was his right shoulder.
I'm learning, as I age, that a lot of that inflexibility comes from -over the years- having repeatedly let someone pushier prevent one from doing or saying something that would have saved the day & prevented years of regret
Tut, tut. That sounds like ageist unconscious bias there, Ms Swift. Or possibly conscious bias. :-)
rare non transphobic grandpa, reblog him for house repairs and lawn mowing service to visit you
Now kiss!
You're speaking my crackship language.
yessss
But...what about that poor book?
Yes! My first thought was about all those books getting WET! Save the books...
So the change is based on the clasp, which Henry recognises?
Huh? He's referring to what she said on the previous page ("You're old, so you must know what's best for me, right?!"). The clasp has nothing to do with it.
Hmm, it seemed like he realised that she's trans, for lack of a better in-world word, but maybe you're right...
"I don't like older people because all of them are always telling me to live my life in a particular way" can apply equally well to a wide variety of young people in a wide variety of situations, e.g. Harriet and her clothes, Nikola and her sexuality, and Henry himself and his abdication. He doesn't need to know what Eliza's specific situation is in order to sympathize!
Yeah, but the way he said "THAT was yer problem wi' me" didn't seem like he was talking about the fact he was old...
Phew! Eliza's attitude got under my skin really fast. Something something pot and kettle.
