When one lives amongst strangers, it behooves one to fit oneself to the local manners. [ He says gently ]
It is both polite, and politic to do so! One's life is made a good deal easier, if one's neighbors regard you as one of them - or at least, not someone to chase out onto the Road in the deeps of Winter! Mistress Coltsfoot is not pleasant company, no, but she is one of the best Midwives of the East Farthing - and she is not stingy with sharing her food in the lean times, either. Most people are nuanced, if one takes the time to know them. And, well. It does me no harm, after all, so why not?
