Reading progress update: I've read 58%.
I swear that Charles Lenox is boring as watching paint dry. He gets attacked by two men and almost swoons because he is not used to getting into "fisticuffs" with other men since he was raised as a gentleman.
There are endless descriptions of his drinks, food, and his socks, boots, coat, hat, and how much he likes to take naps once in a while.
The lapse into American slang once in a while is pretty hilarious to read.
Plus there is no there there while I am reading. Meaning, we go into a general overview of how he met his now butler. But seriously, there is a long winded description about how they pretty much don't talk about personal matters, but you know, are friends. It's so weird. This reads like a toothless version of Sherlock Holmes.
