Such a gentleman for someone who lived like a hermit in the woods for the last handful of centuries. No wonder Fabian was also charmed by him. Well, Tobias should be a gentleman if he's going to be in the company of Mrs. Adela Silver (or her son, though Henry's far less demanding about that). It was so nice to be able to treat Tobias intimately once more instead of like his mother's servant.

"Tell me again, my dear, what plans have you for the day?"

That he's being 'dragged along' for.
