Summary
“Ah, Jopson.” Edward tries to smile. “You needn’t call me ‘Captain’. I’m a lieutenant yet, merely—that is—you needn’t.”
“It’s common courtesy, sir, when a man has command of a ship.” Jopson doesn’t look like a man who has just lost a friend. He doesn’t look like a man who hasn’t slept in three days. He looks like a steward, with his hands steady and his head bowed.
Edward envies his composure, pities his composure, cannot, must not look at his eyes.
Or: on New Year’s Eve, 1847, Francis Crozier dies. All told, it changes very little.
