A "fit of philanthropy," eh? Ha!

But oh noooooo it is even as I foresaw (well, I mean, it was foreshadowed like whoa, of course) and oh noooooo poor Keith (you should have toooooold him Keith!) and I hope Ewen continues to have faith in him and doesn't really think that Keith was trying to finagle information out of him :((((((

(Also awww Lt Paton, he's still the best and I adore how he is all "I'm totally sick and also I have to go write a letter, um, yeah, right this minute it's super urgent" when he thinks Keith is perfidious)

But also Keith, man, I know you're upset but you're going nowhere good with this! Ahhhhh! (For the first time I'm going to be reading ahead -- I make myself write the comment before reading further, but I'm writing the comment mid-week and plunging ahead because omg! Keith!)

If I've learned one thing from books it's that you should ALWAYS tell people when you've done something that might seem perfidious if they learn it from another source, because they WILL learn it from another source, who will probably present it in the most perfidious light possible!

I hope Lt Paton gets transferred away from Guthrie's unit soon, because having to deal with that man on a daily basis must be like sandpaper to his soul. If he can't get away it may wear him down till he truly is as cynical as Keith tries to be!
