So, I have to ask, are y'all pronouncing Bunstable to rhyme with "unstable" or "constable"?

I split the difference, accent the Bun but keep the Stable long.

Higgs is the Jaegergeneral who never went visibly Jaeger-y. If that were known, all the Sparks in the world would want to study him.

And that special condition might turn out very important for Agatha's future work.

Of cawse, as Mama Gikka pointed out, Gil has some of those special characteristics.

Constable. Short a. Him being British and all, I figured it was probably more appropriate.

Also going with "constable" - again, he is British.

On the last panel, is that sweat starting to bead on Tarvek? I mean, can't blame him if it is, but I really thought he'd be calmer.

[up] Yes. Several times, actually.

Also Hurray!! Higgs! Definitely der Sneaky General.

Tarvek definitely knows something about Higgs. Other than seeing him clobber Otilia.

Does Wooster know Higgs? I don't think the two have met in-comic, though I'd expect the spymaster to be well-informed by now.

As much time as Wooster has had around Gil, I'd be dumbstruck if he wasn't well aware of the 'man'.

There's a difference?

Yes. In fact there are two differences. Unstable has a longer "a" and the stress on the middle syllable, constable has a shorter "a" and the stress on the first syllable.

And I've been favouring the "rhymes with constable" version. As noted above, his is British after all.

[up][up]Gil evidently didn't know about Higgs until the latter man saved the Baron following the Battle of Sturmhalten. So there's no reason for Wooster to have known him from that direction.

And if anything if the theory of the "sneaky general" being Higgs is true it shows that the usage of being a serial Almighty Janitor can do quite a lot.

Higgs as the sneaky general is no longer a theory, as the episode with Voll's retrieval from the Time Dome makes quite clear.[1]

What I was trying to put together is the feature that for all the sneaky general calls it fits the call of finding info... by being the "Janitor" of all the major rivals.
