the notion of bush as a fluffy-feathered hen makes me so happy.

And the fact that he's willing to participate in a MUTINY of all things would speak to his being willing to cross the line in other places if the actual situation would bear it out.

Trust me to miss the biggest point. XD

The connection to the fortune-teller scene in LH isn't that big of a jump, actually. I mean, if I remember correctly, Hornblower makes a huge point in his head about how this is proof that Bush is a superstitious old woman or something of the sort. He really hammers on the point that he thinks that Bush is ignorant. Ignorance ~ not reading (especially for a guy like Hornblower) ~ Bush.

Man. That fortune teller bit in LH just makes me want to cry and cry and cry. There is a terrible, terrible story to be told about Bush later thinking and thinking about Hornblower's fortune and wondering if he could ask for his to be told and then dismissing it out of hand because of discipline issues.

And then going on to Caudebec.
