When Babbington observes Jack coming up on deck looking 'timid', I thought 'Jack? Timid? On a ship? What could possibly make him timid *here*?'
And then Jack confides, "They are at it hammer and tongs," and I went 'ohhhhhh. Yep, that would do it." :D
I was so surprised that Diana actually married Stephen at the end that I half-expected the next book to open with their annulment. :) I was amused by them living in separate establishments and Stephen just visiting her very frequently. This seems eminently sensible on their part.
