#he couldnt help it though cause he was just mindlessly yapping to his husband

me thinking of high society!reader x arthur again

ohh shit wait what if hosea notices that arthur has been leaving camp a lot more often than usual

♡hosea noticing that arthur's doing the same habits he'd done when he was engaged with mary. hes sneaking off when everyone is asleep, hes staring longingly at his notebook and hes been up late, later than usual to no doubt add to his journal or pen a letter. oh the letters, dont get hosea started. hes heard young tilly call arthurs name to recieve letters more than he'd thought possible....all these signs and arthur still hasnt sat down to talk to him about it so hosea just lets it go

♡unfortunately hosea makes mention of arthurs new habits to dutch and now dutch has gotten the girls to do their own digging. hes telling them to figure out whos driven arthurs attention away from the gang. hes even had the younger boys who are closer to arthur (lenny and shaun) chat arthur up so they could find information of their own...dutch hides his desire for more information as concern but really he wishes to know if this is an opportunity they can exploit to improve their situation

♡and it is. dutch soon learns that his dear arthur is in correspondence with a respectable lady of means who, if he isnt mistaken, is the same lady he'd ordered arthur to guard

oh arthur

youve placed a gift into dutch's lap that wont go unappreciated
