Summary
In a lifetime of unsubtleties, the affair with Crozier is James’s worst. Crozier’s hand resting on James’s lower back, there for all to see. Crozier’s fingers nudging gently at James’s shirtcuffs when they stood around at receptions; Crozier’s pale eyes going soft and foolish when James entered the room. Sometimes simply Crozier’s nod, sharp and proprietary, as though to say get upstairs, get in my office, close the door—as if the rest of them were not right there.
Or, the one where James and Dundy are bright young things (baby post-docs) in English literature, and there’s a cranky new professor in town ...

Summary
Cornelius takes him on his back now, when before he had him on all fours, like the beat dog he was. This recent change in positioning makes Sol realize he is truly, undeniably doomed.
A missing scene between Crozier being brought to mutineer camp and Goodsir's death. How Hickey comes to suspect that Tozer is planning to betray him, and decides he's better off as bear bait instead of his replacement mutineer queen.

“You’ve never seen me box,” Tozer finally says.

“You haven’t. I’d have seen you.”
After everything, Hickey and Tozer make it to Boston. Tozer sets his sights on the ring; Hickey has his eyes on the horizon.

Summary
“What was it, James, all those men before did that didn’t please you?” Francis asks quietly, a menacing gleam of certainty crystallising in his gaze, and James feels his stomach drop at the warm, queasy sense that some trap has been laid that he’s been far too foolish to see. “Or, rather," Francis whispers, "what did they fail to do? Tell me, so that I may not repeat their mistakes.”
James has a secret, and Francis has a way of seeing far too much.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a caulker’s mate in possession of a false name, must be in want of a wife.
