Hence (if you will not misunderstand me) the exquisite arbitrariness and irresponsibility of this love ... pets Ten, who I think must have misunderstood C. S. Lewis on this point.
The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one.' ... from a slightly different though still Oxonian shared context: “And if you can quote Kai Lung, we should certainly get on together.”
not that help will be given when the pinch comes (of course it will) but that, having been given, it makes no difference at all. ... “it makes no difference at all.” “I forgive you.” Oh, Ten. You got it so terribly, terribly wrong. Verklempt, indeed.
Makes mental note to re-read The Four Loves at the earliest available opportunity. Which will not be this evening, unfortunately.
Agree that Nine’s line is more problematic, and that your emendation is what Eleven or Twelve would have said at that point. “Clara Oswald. Your assistant?” “My friend.”
