Ah, Tim. You are so very wise. Yes, of course you are right; it is folly to learn about a people based on their excess.
I don't think you've a presumptuous bone in your body.
Quite ghastly still, I'm afraid, but luckily I was never a vain man. I thank you. I do feel better, physically. The scurvy has been treated quite effectively. The malnourishment obviously still has lingering effects, but I do believe full recovery is likely.
The mental effects I fear will be lifelong, but I suppose that's a small price to pay for a second chance.
