“You could tell how far [Simpkin had] gone over to the enemy by the way he described the death of a magician as “murder.” And was upset! Honestly, it almost makes you long for the simple aggression of Jabor.” --Bartimaeus, AoS

So Bartimaeus is absolutely being a bit of a hypocrite here, and to be fair to him, Simpkin is talking about some random magician he didn’t know. But do you ever wonder if Bartimaeus might have some self-hatred or shame he feels about liking humans that he’s redirecting here?

Like, ‘i may like some humans, but at least i’m not like that.’

Simpkin Housekeeping, Helen Beatrix Potter, c. 1902 ..

‘The illustrations for The Tailor of Gloucester, her second and favourite book, were drawn in Gloucester and the country round about, the story being based on an actual Gloucestershire story that she heard while staying with a cousin near Stroud. The fabrics in the watercolours are said to have been taken from fabrics in the V. & A.’
