Summary
“Um. Do you have a comb or something that I could borrow? I kinda –”
Weirdly, Nancy’s eyes light up. “Oh! Um – would you – could.” She pauses. “Would you mind if I did your hair for you?”
He blinks. “Like. Like brush it?”
She shrugs. “Or just plait it. Then it’ll dry wavy, like you normally have it.”
Eddie, as much as he cares about washing his hair, has never styled it in his life. He achieves his usual look by drenching it with water and going to bed, so it just sort of. Dries. If he’s feeling fancy, he might use a little bit of hairspray. If he needs it out of his face, he pins it back with one of his aunt’s clips, or a pencil. But he’s never really thought to style it or whatever. So he’s sort of thrown off by Nancy’s suggestion. “Um. Sure?”

Summary
it’s edmund’s father who teaches him how to be a man.
he teaches him how to ride a bike (and not to cry when he wobbles and bruises his knees on the cobbles); he teaches him how to fasten a tie (not to slouch when he sits, to say please and thank you, to be polite and quiet and convenient); he teaches him his multiplication tables (heads bent together over the scrubbed kitchen table, edmund’s pen tapping against his two loose front teeth), his words (sounding out the harder ones, black spiky characters on a white page that jumble themselves in front of his eyes), how to play cricket (“not bad, ed,” dad says, and edmund is overcome with boyish pride), how to fish (though, not often, because they’re in london and london isn’t exactly overflowing with lakes) –
of course, he teaches peter all this first.
