if she had strong opinions about Corsican bandits instead?
It isn't really plot irrelevent - the political complexities will allow them to bond over class snobbery ("the lower orders are so prejudiced") whilst also allowing LPW to function as effectively a bit of rough (this latter bitis important). It just doesn't matter that it is magical education in New Zealand as opposed to another subject fulfilling the same function. But someone else at the party could definitely mention the Corsican bandits.
Fantasy!Bunter would be greatly helped by knowing exactly what one could get away with publishing without being prosecuted for obscenity, or whatever it was. But I haven't got to that bit yet.
a young woman with a good salary necessarily being in want of a house Definitely a truth to be acknowledged!
