Jimmy's Letter....
OMG what else can I say about this??? It's the funniest thing I've ever read.
Jimmy's in his "not like other guys phase" and I AM HERE FOR IT!!! Not because he's my favorite character, but because it's hilarious. When I say I laughed at him talking about how he's been compared to Sherlock Holmes, I mean I CACKLED!!! Jack really read his vibes for what they were (but of course in the most negative possible way because it is JIMMY we're talking about).
Even though he's insufferable I love that we get to see his POV and how he misconstrues everything and/or deliberately lies to get people to side with him. We already knew that from Jack and Molly's letters, but it's good to know Jack wasn't exaggerating when he roasted this man. Also this throws such a wrench for Jack!!! I can't wait to see what happens next. Will Molly's father forbid her from her chaffeur?? Will there be a big confrontation a la Prince Ali (Jafar's Reprise)?? Will Jack ever get his watch back?? If I needed anymore convincing about how great this book is, this letter does it.
In conclusion, Jimmy Payne thinks he's Sherlock Holmes and in his mind palace era, but in fact he is simply not a clown but the whole circus.
Rattray really just said, "I don't get paid enough for this", huh?
You really ought to have three or four hands with this car, Rattray says. When I asked him if it was different with other cars, he didn't seem to hear.
- The Lightning Conductor, 15th November
Damn it Rattray, I want to know this too!
I'm suddenly wondering all sorts of things are the development of the car that never occured to me before!
Even Molly isn’t above a little schadenfreude.
Really enjoyed the first letter from The Lightning Conductor today! This is the first of the book serialisations I've taken part in that I haven't previously read, so I'm excited to see where it'll go...
My main wonder is about whether Reginald Cecil-Lanstown (not a very "plain" name at all, Molly!) will end up being the love interest or if he's just part of the inciting incident... time will tell...
