Summary
"Why don't you?" Lewis asks.
They're eating sandwiches on a bench outside the Ashmolean. The sky is a clear, cold blue. Lewis's question appears to have emerged directly from it and dropped into James' lap without a parachute.
"I considered it, sir, but once you turn down MI-5, I don't think they're too keen on you changing your mind."
Lewis knocks his shoulder into James' in reprimand. "Go into academia, I mean. Teach or something."
James looks down at his ham sandwich and back up at Lewis. "And leave all this?"

Bookmarker's Notes
This entire series is just exquisite—delicate touches like watercolor in a perfect character study.
It leaves me yearning for more (unlikely, given the age), yet it is also perfectly formed, balanced, capable of standing as it is.
