I am really very fond of The Quiet Gentleman. It is not, in fact, the first story by Georgette Heyer I ever read, but it is the first I encountered, because my father read it to me when I was sick, some twelve or so years ago. And of all her works, it's one of my favorites.
But.
The last time I read it was before I had much, if any, knowledge of FF7, and as I try to reread it this time, I find myself somewhat distracted by the hero's pale grey horse, whose name is Cloud.
Not that horses have anything to do with any Final Fantasy world other than the first (Crazy Horse is one of the monsters you can run into there). So the fact that I can read of Gervase's horse Cloud and be made to think of FF7!Cloud-as-a-horse is all Coyo's fault.
Just. The name keeps jumping out at me, that's all.
