Patrick O'Brian was so real for this one <3
#aubreyad#i do appreciate the way that he treats other languages#like he doesn't often toss in random words but he does subtly change the rhythm#the conversation in the surgeon's mate in catalan is very clearly a different register#especially for stephen#but it's all written out in english except for stephen calling his godfather padrí and his godfather calling him esteve#anyways reading forester i now am realizing how low the bar is here#obv it's not very easy to do this but when someone does it....<333#(i've spent a lot of time thinking about how to represent multilingualism in monoglot writing lol)#perce rambles#will say: the obvious caveat to this is stephen forgetting how to say bolets in english. which mr. pob was also incredibly real for <33
