Why not. *thieves meme, sells it on the black market*

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal pseudo-canon.

Archibald Craven. ^_^

Ooooh. *giggles* This is hard, when I can never even remember how exactly he is related to the Lennoxes! (Well. I can remember. But book and musical canon are different, and I am afraid I have said different things at different times.)

1. At some point in the future he will of course want a grandchild. All the same, part of him hopes Colin will never marry. Too much risk (for Colin).

2. Colin was not the name of any family members of his; Lily picked the name.

3. He went through a phase when he was young when he would lie about his last name instead of saying that he was Craven.

4. Misselthwaite used to have a stables, but it hasn't ever since Archibald became Master. He can't ride - or doesn't, at least (though possibly he could if he tried) - and doesn't see the point of keeping one around, much to the eventual disappointment of Colin and Mary. It's now a storage shed.

5. Freud would have a field day with Archibald, but Archibald would find him a vulgar and irritating man.

I have to respectfully disagree with the first half of 1). Archibald doesn't actually like children. He never did. He thinks he'd be happier if his line died out.

(He wouldn't be, and he won't be, but that's a different story.)

Regarding 3): I'm not sure I see that one either. I don't know who he'd ever met who'd ask him about his name.

4) Yes, but he wasn't the one who commanded the stables be taken down. Dr Craven suggested it would be a good idea, and Archibald just went with it. He didn't care enough to make the decision himself.

You're absolutely right about 5), though.

*giggles* Well, 5.) was easy.

I still hold out on 3.), though. I am thinking when he was a wee schoolboy of seven or so. Which means that there would be a lot of name-asking/sharing!

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

But he was never a schoolboy, that's the thing! He was too ill to go to school,so he had tutors.

[skygiants]

Oh, true.

Well, he would have if he'd gone! *stubborn*
