Ch 10-12: “A bosom friend,” “nightgown,” and “biographical” are all SO sweet about the Ishmael-queequeg friendship - nonsexual intimacy, cuddling, learning his history 🥹 loved these—

“Be it said, that though I had felt such a strong repugnance to his smoking in the bed the night before, yet see how elastic our stiff prejudices grow when once love comes to bend them.” (Ch 11)

Ch. 4: quite enjoy the description of QueeQueg: “he was just enough civilized to show off his outlandishness in the strangest possible manner. His education was not yet completed. He was an undergraduate.”
