Yesterday I was a bit busy, so I didn't post about this bit in chapter 2 (p. 32): "Euphemia stood in the open doorway, staring after him as he climbed into his Bentley and drove away. Part of her mind registered the fact that he did this with a calm skill and careless ease, just as though he were mounting a bicycle."
This makes me wonder whether Betts was a nervous driver, because this idea of a Betts hero driving off without fuss comes up more than once - Never Too Late mentions this as well, if I recall correctly. (And I'll be scared if I do recall correctly, honestly). But seriously - Tane drives a Bentley; it doesn't seem likely that he would have bought it if he were a nervous driver. One hopes that every driver on the road has "calm skill and careless ease"!
