I went back to the first chapter to be sure, and sure enough, I didn't catch it then (since it wasn't until she casually mentioned it on page 30 of 36), but she wanted to be a librarian...a librarian...in Wordsworth...
Also, because of the nature of the story, flags of course have to work slightly differently; so a statement like rumors of a Sacred Beast in the mountains of course mean "Muriel is likely going to find herself involved out there."
"Is exchanging passionate kisses with the bros not normal?"
"A baby or two between friends is fine, right?"
