I love Cabin Pressure fic where everyone sounds like themselves. I could easily hear Martin, Douglas and especially Arthur all chattering delightfully while reading this.
Arthur's face creased a little as he considered the matter. Douglas decided to put him out of his misery, or at least his slight bafflement.
Because Arthur is almost always completely happy, obviously.
"I could, perhaps, read for six hours a day. Then it would only take me four days to read all the headwords. But headwords are actually the minority of words in the dictionary. There must be millions of words." Arthur frowned. "That's a lot of words, all right. I'm not sure . . . I'm not sure I could even imagine a million words." "Listen to Douglas long enough, and—" "Martin!"
Tee! I do enjoy moments when Martin can get in a jibe or two.
Great job! The world needs more Cabin Pressure fic and this one was a great addition!
