Subject: Good timing - to bring up masks just before Hallowe'en. This was also a part of the sermon yesterday. The masks we wear in our lives, how we project ourselves to others, how we want to be seen. John's mask is for his safety as well as the honor of his family.

  • This brings up a question -- as closely as they exist together, does Tom know about his master's orientation? Tom takes such good care of Lord John, they are so close even to the point of Tom taking liberties with his position by scolding and questioning John. How could he not know or at least suspect? If he does, I would imagine he would also be protective of LJ. (NT) -- tlk2vicki, 06:58:23 10/29/07 Mon

  • I think John is discreet enough that Tom does not absolutely know. He is already accustomed to John spending nights away from the house when the regiment is gearing for campaign that he wouldn't question him staying at the new brother's as it is closer to quarters. Percy was also discreet in the two notes he sent to John, not signing them, etc. I think Tom takes scolding liberties as part of his duties. Doesn't Benedicta even at one point show concern over the effort of the staff? I think it is a characteristic of the family that staff are considered in a fashion as family also. On campaign, Tom effectively holds 'home' for John. He's also shown himself to be quite resourceful and intelligent, especially in PM. John might encourage open comment from him.
