5th Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

JD was in the common room, baking cookies. Or, rather, trying to bake cookies. If he could just stop eating the dough. So far none had actually made it into the oven.

Laddie, his stuffed dog, was with him, dressed in a chef hat and holding a whisk in his mouth.

Henry sighs. "I suppose. I do have some more modern clothing, so I won't be wearing these garments each day." He remembers the second question, and answers "And I'm from eighteen-hundred and eighty-six."

Matilda looks very surprised, "Now that's a long way! I'm surprised the culture shock hasn't killed you."

"Well you have nothing to worry about on an airplane. They're much saffer than boats or cars. The biggest threat to you was around in your time just as much as it is now."

Henry has massive doubts about that statement, but he figures that it's the kind of modern insanity that he'll have to get used to.
"Well, automobiles are much faster nowadays than they were back home. And it seems that the qualifications for operating one are more easily met than those of piloting an airplane."

"Yeah, driving is much much more dangerous than flying. But you can rest assured that you won't have to drive any where on this island." She nods.

Henry sighs. "That is something of a comfort."

"I'm sure you've been warned that around here there are stranger and more dangerous things than cars anyway."

"That is true. I'm going to be on my guard these first few weeks." Or rather, he might be staying on guard for a long time anyway.

"My advice is to always stay on your toes."
