“Yes, let’s do that. “ Not the high romantic proposal/acceptance Sidney had planned but much more suited to the two of them. The wall ‘o text of his attempted explanation is marvelous. Many hearts.
As is Harry’s eye-narrowing as she puffs her pipe and waits to see how Sid reacts to the misunderstanding!
He was taking too long, so she just did it herself.
Better than the response my spouse gave me when I asked - “Mmhm.”
Yeah, that feels… very Sid. Even more confident Sid. Hope we get to see his parents again.
i agree with the other two comments, while not the most usual of proposal, it is the kind that fit the both of them better
Ah, Sid. Trying to exactly explain exactly what you had exactly intended with exactly too many words. Never change, we all, and more importantly Harry, love you the way you are.
Oh, and since we've now met Harriet's future husband, Florence, maybe yours could finally make an appearance? Perhaps in a final wedding montage? And not have his face tastefully hidden by a hedge, centerpiece, or the thrown bouquet of flowers. Do they do that in Victorian England?
Hang on Sid, you can’t just throw your stolen ring away. Given where it came from, it’s probably valuable. Worse it may be someone’s engagement ring and they’ll be upset that they’ve lost it. The owner will want it back.
too late!
Tonight, an elderly widow weeps alone, heartbroken that her precious engagement ring, the one reminder of her beloved late husband, has been lost forever.
Or possibly, the owner is a rich entitled Lady who will hardly miss it. “My dear, it was only that dreadful little sapphire that my cheapskate uncle gave me. I can’t think why I even kept it.” Later, the ring is found by a poor road sweeper, who pawns it to pay for the medicine that will save the life of his sick daughter.
I imagine that would go down well. “You see, a magpie buggerup that basically only I can see keeps stealing things from people and putting them in me pockets, and it seems it has stolen your ring, so please take it back and don’t report me to the coppers”. Far better for Lost&Found practices to run their course.
From the previous page, I’m not convinced that the ring isn’t Sid’s to throw away and pretend he never bought it.
Aw, I overestimated Sid’s showmanship. 😅
…you have our blessing. And we will be expecting you to produce a grandchild by this time next year.
Awww! That’s so very Sid and Harry - the flustered babbling explanation and the short, straight-to-the-point question. Also not surprising that it ended up essentially being Harry asking Sid to marry her instead of vice versa.
Oh, hidden in this wall-of-text is Sid actually proposing.
OK, saying he wanted to.
Was planning to.
Waiting for the perfect day and occasion.
Uh. So yes, it was finally Harry cutting to the chase and asking.
This is perfect and beautiful! No notes! My god, I think I might cry!
Gren is rolling his eyes. Thought you ought to know…
Ummm … i believe Gren is a lady…
Oh my Anchors this is so cute!
They would have the most efficient civil ceremony ever if their families would let them get away with it.
Sid, that proposal is perfectly in character given your first meeting when you thought Harry was a highway person.
Harry is the one who proposed.
FRICK IT WASNT ON PURPOSE AFTER ALL 😂 what adorable nerds omg
And the fact that Harry KNEW it wasn’t the proposal, her smile, AHHH. 🥰
awwwwwww
Why is Florrie being rude in the general direction of Harry and Sid in the last panel?
