The Aziraphale Edition...
Apr. 1st, 2003 08:31 pmMore GO observations...
The Arrangement between Aziraphale and Crowley has been in effect for 1000 years... (since 1070, I think, but I can't find the page number now.)
Aziraphales weaknesses are: music particularly Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Mozart (CD's, "Albert Hall", "Proms" and "Glyndbourne" are also mentioned) (p47)
And on page 48: Gravlax with dill sauce, fascinating little restuarants where they know you, Daily Telegraph crossword, small antique shops, bookshops, interesting old editins, Regency silve snuffboxes.
p50 mentions that Aziraphale specialises in collecting books of prophecies/predictions, Wilde first editions (heh) and he has a complete set of Infamous Bibles.
p51 - Aziraphale has gone by A. Ziraphale during the 1650s. (We all know that Crowley still uses A. J. Crowley as his "human" signature)
I'm amused by the way that Aziraphale keeps using "my dear", and "my dear boy" and I've just realised that he's sounding just a little like Ethan Rayne in my head. *g*
From p59:
Aziraphale beamed. "You know, I'd never have thought of that," he said. "Godfathers. Well, I'll be damned."
"It's not too bad," said Crowley, "when you get used to it."
Crowley's comment interests me. You could read it as someone who was fairly happy with their life, once take the good points and the bad points into consideration, or as a nice quiet form of regret on Crowley's part. Hmmm...
