My parents have been and are wrong about many important things, but at no point would they have thought ill because of race or nationality of my introducing a woman as my fiancée. And, for a time, I was involved with an Iraqi woman from a Muslim family.

Of course, this point is simply one of happiness, as I would have defied my parents if they'd objected.

19th century England was a predominantly Christian country. I thought a Muslim woman can't marry a Christian?
Older era Muslim are allowed to marry Christian and Jews
In their terms, they are referred to them as "People of the Book" (refering to Bible and Torah) or follower of Jesus and Moses who are still acknowledged as Prophet in Islam.
Modern Islam, not so much.

But whether Christian allows marriage against Moslem partner is also different story.
one argue in some modern cases, the marriage is allowed but there will contract to ensure the future child will be taught christianity.

My parents have been and are wrong about many important things, but at no point would they have thought ill because of race or nationality of my introducing a woman as my fiancée. And, for a time, I was involved with an Iraqi woman from a Muslim family.

Different Era, this is era where statement like "gassing the native" is still considered acceptable.

Churcill stated it if i recalled it right. whether that is deadly gas or tear gas, its still being argued.

Thank you for chapter release.
This is hard on both parties as both have their own reasons to accept/ not to.
This situation reminds me of Emma back then.

I love that in the end of manga damage from the Baron family still have effects but the family is a bit more accepting towards Emma and the family ended getting closer towards the fellow traders, Molders family. Not to mention William close friends like Hakim and Robert still be close friends and attending their wedding

Not to mention Emma ended getting her teacher surname as official name before becoming Emma Jones is nice cherry on the top

Karou Mori drawing 19th Century England again, somewhat feels like home. I’ve recently reread “Emma” and comparing how she illustrated England 15 years ago to now I feel so nostalgic.

Can’t wait to how she will illustrate England in the following chapters.

"Dissapointment" ?
the man made many first hand account and documentation of central Asian tribes right before World war one.
Who knows how many tribes got decimated or later merged after the war.

I presume, his record will be invaluable in modern anthropology

...
Definitely agree with the sentiment, but "right before" is pushing it a bit.

AFAIK the manga takes place around the time of the Crimean War (the old one, not the current one) - 60 years or so before WW1.
