It seems so strange saying it out loud, to Silver no less. He’s vaguely discussed it with Eloise but he’s never been so blunt about it.
“It’s not the idea of it I mind so much. I like the civility, of men behaving with honour and respect. But I go to these parties where there’s every class and no one gives a damn, and I’m so envious of the artists that get to create what speaks to them, with no worry of gossip or scandal. Some proper gentlemen create just fine under the constraints of society but I wonder if that’s what’s truly stifling me.”
Benedict takes one last puff and puts out cigarette.
“I realize I must sound petulant. I’m not ungrateful for what I’ve got, I’m just not entirely sure how I’m meant to fit into it all.”
