[Spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce

[JHyde]

Wow he was young to develop a drug habit! (He's a couple of months older than me.) I guess with a father saving the British Empire, a depressed mother, parents divorced, clever, without guidance - it's easy to see how it might go wrong, especially at that age for a boy. And poor Catherine, how much she must have had to deal with. No wonder she kind of hated him.

I imagine this would weigh on Harry greatly, especially in terms of getting involved with Ruth. Forget kids, trusting people would be hard enough in his job, let alone the anxiety that everyone he gets close to is hurt.

Don't worry almh - just a precautionary measure, given it's bonus material. Just to be decent to those who haven't read that particular item. It was mainly just that second bit, which was certainly a shock to me, as it's not anything I've read elsewhere. Good to know the book might still hold surprises!
