AW, Chapter 6, Change of Heart Part 2
Oh look! Another snow day when there's no snow! In that case, why not update with Chapter 6, Change of Heart, Part 2, here A huge thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snacky for the beta!
Notes!
For the non Americans who may not know the story, the not very accurately named Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Those uppity colonists. The story of the Massachusetts Volunteer 54th is in many places, including the film Glory. Research can begin at the wiki site.
The discussion of the Lieber Code, the General Orders No. 100, and the philosophical and legal bases for the Laws of War, are from Telford Taylor's memoir, Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials. The description of the declaration circulated by the governments in exile is also from Taylor's memoir.
The British imprisonment of the Congress Party leaders in India is recounted in many, many places. Here, Here, and here
I've developed all sorts of head canon involving the OCs in this chapter. Me bad.
I admit I couldn't resist the thought of Eustace and Edmund drinking rum (a sailor's drink to be sure) and Peter having his first taste of Mexican tequila.
As mentioned, I'm deep into Chapter 7 and have been trying to nail down the demographics of Liverpool and the events surrounding the Labour Party rally that occurred at Caxton Hall on September 2, 1942. I'm also wading into race issues with duck boots on and having all those, OMG, what the HELL am I doing moments in my desire to avoid inadvertent race fail fanfiction on the Internet. If anyone has any thoughts on this, anonymous and otherwise, I invite them.
I hope folks will review!
And because it's Susan's return:
His mother let out a deep sigh. Again she fiddled with the gloves in her lap then looked up at her children at the end of the train car. Susan had her hands over her mouth in surprise. Edmund put his hands out, mimicking dragon wings and Lucy looked like she was beating something with a bat – perhaps a sea monster with Caspian’s second best sword.
“I really can tell you nothing of it, Peter. I do not know that much as Susan keeps her own counsel when you all are not about. What I do know, I cannot say by law. But…”
Mum suddenly gripped his hand and so fiercely he almost winced.
“Your sister is a hero, Peter. She is courageous and brilliant and has impressed some very important men.” Mum dropped her voice lower to almost a hiss. “And you all damned well better appreciate her for it.”
