Hello, Mary
What a fascinating description of forget-me-not colored eyes!
It was Akiko who asked about Captain Hook, she is exploring the captain with
an eye-patch in TT ( ch.26) .
I suggested she could look into R.L. Stevenson´s "Treasure Island" and Long
John Silver.
2002 Disney´s version entitled " Treasure Planted" makes reference to a
subtituted eye-patch :" As in Treasure Island, the ship's cook is secretly a
pirate - Long John Silver - only in this case he has way-cool cyborg
prosthetics instead of the stereotypical eye-patch, wooden leg, and hook for
a hand. (Morph functions in place of a parrot on his shoulder.)"
I couldn´t find my grandchildren´s copy of Stenvenson to get to the original
text and my memory is not very good...
VN describes Stevenson´s death at his vine cellar and his fall because a
vein burst in his brain and this scene recalled TT´s Person Senior´s death
while truing trousers on.
I wonder if "Wellington boots" also refers to hiking shoes adequate for
walking up Alpine trails?
I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
