Summary:
“We have to go WHERE?!”
“Don’t blame me, Angel,” said Crowley. “Blame Warlock.”
A brief interlude on the nature of Warlock.
He is the child of an American diplomat, and, like most children of American diplomats, spends his summers in America. Naturally, his “nanny” and “gardener” have to come, too.
So Aziraphale and Crowley go to America. They don’t enjoy it much.
Good Omens in English: “Crowley (An Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards)”
Good Omens in French: “Rampa (Angel who didn’t honestly Fall; Tripped would be a better way to put it)”
i am amused
Crowley’s name in French is Rampa???!
It’s a play on the French word for “crawl” just like the English Crawly/Crowley
Aziraphale in history?
So it’s canon that Aziraphale accidentally killed a dove, but what about that time he accidentally killed a horse?
Anglo-Saxon England is postitively TEAMING with saints you’ve probably never heard of: being surrounded by pagans ups your chance of martyrdom, and some kings of the Heptarchy got made saints just for converting and ending Christian persecution.
St Dunstan (909-988CE), when he was alive and a monk (not dead and a saint) heard in 955 that King Eadred was ill and set off to see him.
While he was on his way, Eadred died, so an angel appeared to Dunstan.
*POOF*
“Behold! Eadred has departed in peace!”
At which, Dunstan’s horse dropped dead from shock at the sudden appearance of a ruddy great angel.
WHO is an angel who we know was associated with England at this point in history? Yeah. LOL
How long did it take Crowley to stop laughing? How long before he stopped saying, “Killed any horses recently, Aziraphale?”
