Summary
Portugal does not seem concerned by the press of tourists and locals, nor does he seem to break a sweat at the uncomfortable, stuffy temperature inside of the poorly-aired vehicle. He knows better than any when a sharp turn or steep ascent awaits them, and he adjusts his grip accordingly.

Summary
It’s not that Portugal fears being replaced or forgotten. The bond he shares with England runs much too deep: there is nothing that could permanently sever their ties, as history has proven again and again. But it’s the idea that England is giving a part of himself to someone else, the idea that Portugal is no longer the first one he turns to, becoming instead a mere afterthought in the face of shiny, new alliances.
Thus, every now and then, he finds himself glaring across the Atlantic.
