    Summary

    “May I put to you an indelicate question, Mr. Hodgson?” Jopson asks after a pause. “Pray, do not be offended. But we are isolated here for a reason, spoken ill of by the villagers for a reason. And so it is as, perhaps, a friend with similarly queer predilections—and therefore as an ally—that I ask: are you and this John Irving terribly intimate with one another?”

    “I’m quite sure I don’t know what you mean,” George returns, blushing madly.

    “You know, sir, precisely what I mean,” Jopson answers. “You are among sympathetic friends.”

    George shakes his head. “I do not believe—he is terribly opposed, you see, to such things. My little chaste monk. I call him that, even, and threaten to cut his hair into a tonsure some night while he sleeps. He does not find this terribly funny.” He picks up a vol-au-vent and blows on it, suddenly feeling quite melancholy. “He does not find many things terribly funny.”

    Summary

    "It suits you, y'know."

    "Shut the fuck up, Neil."

    "No, I mean it," Hickey puts the cheap eye shadow palette down and leans in close to check his handiwork. "You look pretty."

    "Pretty?" Sol snorts, mustering up all his casual derision and swallowing down the way that word makes his stomach feel warm and uncomfortably squirmy. "I'm drunk, I'm not bloody stupid."
