Why did nobody tell me?
I have been led to believe by all and sundry that Midshipman Kennedy's only appearance in CSF is the "famous" bowing and hat flourishing scene at the beginning of The Man Who Felt Queer. I have been misinformed.
Why did nobody tell me that Midshipman Kennedy also makes a crucial reappearance in The Frogs and the Lobsters? So critical is he to this chapter that he is even given the first line:
"They're coming," said Midshipman Kennedy.
This is followed several paragraphs later by:
"I'd like to see him laying aloft on a stormy night," muttered Kennedy. "D'ye think he could take the maintops'l earring?"
And there you have it. Two whole lines!
I suppose it's a vain hope that Kennedy makes other unscheduled appearances throughout the series that nobody's told me about? ;)
