Ah, period flavor nicely set in the very first paragraph, a subtly done at that.
The image of Crowley striking a figure in the skin tight uniforms of the era, shades of Flashman! Crowley looking like every mother's nightmare and every maiden's dream...
And Aziraphale's description makes me think of amateur sleuth Father Brown!!
>"I might offer you the same compliment," Aziraphale eyed the pompous military headwear dubiously, "I expect there's a lever in your back that operates the nut-cracking mechanism."<
I want to steal this line and take it home and feed it a saucer of milk and keep it forever.
>really just making excuses to be where it was toasty and green< >I'm thinking of taking a house and getting some of these in there<
Revealed! The birth and underlying attraction of Crowley's plant habit.
The first footnote is delicious and complements the arch detailing of the snafu's that kept both angel and deomon in proximity for the three months.
