I just had a look at the Hand and Lock site, and I expected gold lace to be more, well, lacy. LOL. Still, expensive stuff. I wonder which type it was on Jack's hat...
That's such a lovely scene, with several things going on that aren't quite spelled out: it's my impression that Killick is actually scared of the wombat and doesn't dare try to take the lace away from it. And then Stephen thinking (or affecting to think) that Jack is concerned not for the fate of his precious hat but for the wombat's health.
I can picture Jack addressing the wombat sternly with "Now, sir". And the wombat looking lovingly into Stephen's eyes. Makes me want to reread the entire series again!
