and the question of what, exactly, you could blackmail a slavedealer with
Ah, I love that line!
I'd love to see Hannibal teaching. It's hard to imagine him being good at it; I sort of feel like he would keep going off on tangents about Catullus's domestic life, and the students would end up with no Latin grammar but plenty of Roman gossip.
Does he crash on the couch most days because the Januarys won't let him walk home drunk after dark?
I definitely believe that Hannibal ends up spending a lot of nights at the Januarys. Especially after Days of the Dead, when he has a broken leg, and between Dead and Buried and The Shirt on His Back when he's going through withdrawal. I rather doubt Hannibal would have survived (much less succeeded in) withdrawal if he didn't have someone to watch him 24/7 through the worst part of it.
I know! I miss Rose in these books too. She has a fairly large part in Ran Away, but I really want some more Rose.
