Harold Lowe ran away to the sea when he was fifteen because his father was trying to get him to go into an internship at some little shop in Wales. He RAN AWAY over this.

So you understand that when I was reading "The Watch That Ends the Night" by Allan Wolf and stumbled upon the line, "[Lowe] would have wondered if he was really on a ship at all, or if he was just an apprentice, in a safe and tidy little shop back in Wales," (page 207) yes, I did have to put the book down and stare at the wall for a few minutes.

Thinking about how John grew up with sisters and a mom and enslaved domestic servants and so he doesn't know how to sew to save his life. He had people for that. Reattach a button? Mend a tear in his shirt? Darn a stocking? Forget it. He's clueless.

He sits in their tent in the light of a single candle and tries his best, but really he's just making everything worse somehow, and all the pinpricks to his hands are leaving blood spots on the fabric.

Alex – poor, motherless, no servants – watches him struggle with it for all of twenty minutes before he takes over and does the work himself (with a little muttered lecture on privilege thrown in because, yeah).

We must confess that we are the possible

We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world

between the great molasses flood and the tea party, boston harbor has to be one of the most beverage harbors

Bold move claiming molasses is a beverage. It's barely a liquid.
