Summary:

Even in the North, where Hester fits in like a native creature, Lee keeps wearing his Texan skin, the drawl of his voice and turn of his accent, the flair in his fashion and the way he holsters his gun. The Country of Texas is a part of him, the way he can see Lyra’s Oxford is for her; a familiar land, friendly-seeming, but often strange and threatening too, in ways that could take a person off-guard.
