This just keeps getting better and better! I love how you've written both of them, and how much humor you've managed to work into this story. Your writing style is lovely, and sentences like "Strange kissed him to prevent a lecture; he was prepared to make allowances for Norrell, whom he strongly suspected had never had another person before, but scolding one during a conjugal act was too much" make me laugh out loud.

Thank you, Anon! This is just fantastic, and you've made me one very happy OP.
