[Prior, in the meanwhile, is coping with the stresses of the journey very well, thank you. Granted, there's the unfortunate old-lady-like need to nap after a very long carriage ride but - that taken care of - he's practically kittenish in his interest in... everything.
It's a long time since he's played the tourist. There was one trip to a quaint little model village somewhere in New England - the details of which he's regaled Dorian with during the trip - complete with creaky floorboards and a creepy landlady in the B&B, and this trip's a little like a less postironic version. Nothing here's faux-quaint, it's the real deal.
Like this place. Prior may have promised to take Dorian to a club someday (somehow) but for now the trade remains on his side: they visit libraries.
It's nice to watch the way Dorian slowly unwinds with every flip of a page.
Looking up from examining the writings of an enchanted pen, Prior pulls himself up onto the table with the excuse of taking a closer look at the topmost title of Dorian's book pile, to see what has him so enchanted. He reads aloud:]
Studs in Spurs 2: Bucked by a Cowboy. [Whether this is the title or not, Prior's hand flutters against his chest.] Well I don't blame you, it sounds like a classic of its time.
