Alex has a cat allergy but loves them and this causes Problems
Like, Alex and George are visiting Harold in Cambridge for the hols, and Alex sees a cat and goes to pet it.
George is all "Alex, don't do that!" and Harold thinks George is simply worried about being late and says it's ok, they don't need to hurry. George says "I'm not worried about being late! He's allergic"
Meanwhile Alex is wheezing and his eyes are streaming while he offers the cat a bit of cheese out his sandwich

This is how that scene at the end of MaM went, right? (Can you tell I have no idea what 1930s clothes looked like?)

I just finished BITB and it was sooooooo good. I loved how everyone from the old gang was there (except kitty? What happened to kitty?) and how even inspector Priestley turned up.
I accually cried when Amina turned up though, and I'm not sure why but it just made me so happy that the MMU group were back together

The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human (Siddhartha Mukherjee, 2022)
“In immunology, as with any science, there are moments of grand synthesis, when seemingly disparate observations and seemingly inexplicable phenomenon converge on a single mechanistic answer.
How does the self know itself?
Because every cell in your body expresses a set of histocompatibility (H2) proteins that are different from the proteins expressed by a stranger’s cells.
When a stranger’s skin, or bone marrow, is implanted into your body, your T cells recognize these MHC proteins as foreign—nonself— and reject the invading cells. (…)
Autoimmunity, the attack on self cells, generated an obvious question: What if the immunological toxicity could be turned on cancer cells?
After all, malignant cells occupy the disturbing boundary of the self and the nonself; they are derived from normal cells and share many features of normality, but they are also malignant invaders—rhinoceroses in one perception, and unicorns in another. (…)
Cancers, varied as they are, share some common features—among them, their invisibility to the immune system.
In principle, T cells can be potent immunological weapons against tumors. As Clarence Little and Peter Gorer had shown as early as the 1930s, when a tumor is implanted onto genetically mismatched mice, T cells from the recipient mouse reject the tumor as “foreign.”
But the tumor/recipient systems that Little and Gorer had chosen were grossly mismatched: the tumor brandished, on its surface, an MHC molecule that could instantly be recognized as “foreign” and thus swiftly rejected.
More recently, in Emily Whitehead’s case, her CAR-T cells had been specically modified to recognize a protein on the surface of her leukemia cells.
Most human cancers, though, represent a vastly more subtle challenge for the immune system.
Harold Varmus, the Nobel-winning cancer biologist, called cancer a “distorted version of our normal selves.”
And so they are: the proteins that cancer cells make are, with a few exceptions, the same ones made by normal cells, except cancer cells distort the function of these proteins and hijack the cells toward malignant growth.
Cancer, in short, may be a rogue self—but it is, indubitably, a self.”

George and Beanie friendship headcannons (set a small bit after DSS I suppose?)
- I NEED them to be friends!!!
- ok so this is actually a bit more of an AU than just headcannons but we roll
- ok so Beanie's mother is sick right and I don't think she's gonna make it
- but of course her husband (Beanie's dad) has forked out for the best treatment in the world for her
- which is in London, and George's father is the best doctor around (he's canonically knighted right???)
- so George's dad is treating Beanie's mum, and ensuring she gets round the clock treatment
- it's Christmas Eve too, which is relevant
- idk why but stay with me George is there at the hospital too waiting on his father to finish his checks or whatever
- Beanie and her mum have this tradition where they sing 'we wish you a merry christmas' at midnight to her horses in the stable
- obviously they can't do that this year, but Beanie still wants to sing with her mum at midnight
- visiting hours were supposed to be over, but Beanie decided to be brave and hid in a supply cupboard and waited till there were no doctors about so she could sing with her
- but the hospital is dark, and all the corridors look the same, and she's more than a little bit scared
- George, at the same time, is roaming the corridors having the time of his life waiting on his father to finish paperwork. He definitely absolutely does not believe in ghosts, but is open to the possibilities
- imagine his surprise when he rounds a corner to see a tall, wispy looking girl shuffling nervously about who when she turns to look at him has big, sad eyes
- George recognises her (he's good with faces) and of course asks her what she's doing there. She tells him and they go to her mother's room together
- it's all very emotional when Beanie sees her mum
- anyway
- George finds some mince pies from the staff canteen for her to nibble on, because he figures she can't have had anything to eat since four o clock
- Beanie's father left when visiting hours ended, so George's father drives her home
- they've bought a flat in London to be nearer her mum but that on top of the hospital expenses has made them very nearly broke
- Beanie's dad has had to dismiss all but one of the servants, and there's talk of Beanie not being able to return to Deepdean, but she doesn't know this
- Beanie's dad didn't even notice she wasn't with him (there's just... a lot on his mind) and feels awful, and just starts outright crying in the doorway
- Beanie is so shocked that she starts crying too
- George and his father come into the flat to try and calm things down
- their fathers sit down to have a Grownup Chat and George rings his mother to tell her they're fine, just Dealing With Something
- he helps Beanie to her room ('propriety be damned') because she's pretty much inconsolable from seeing her father cry, and it being Christmas Day as half a family, not to mention the fact it's like half one in the morning by now so she's tired
- he doesn't know what to do about this, so he offers to brush her hair. That always made him feel calmer
- Beanie agrees and so George sits and brushes it
- she throws herself into a hug with him and tells him 'I wish I had you as a brother' and then almost passes out from exhaustion on his shoulder
- anyway the Mukherjees go home and when Beanie wakes up it's officially Christmas Day, but they don't really celebrate
- Beanie's father suggests that she stays with a friend for a while and Beanie while sad is relieved. Trying to combat her father's sadness with optimism had been exhausting, and the flat never really felt like home anyway
- but where to stay?
- she can't stay with Kitty, the new baby is too much for the Freebodys as it is, Lavinia's parents are, well... Lavinia's parents, and the Mountfitchet's flat simply cannot take anymore people
- so of course she goes and stays with George and his family
- who are very friendly and welcoming and sympathetic, and she doesn't have to put on a brave face anymore
- she cries a lot, but George always sits with her and then brushes her hair
- Mrs Mukherjee puts her hair into nice plaits and patiently teaches Beanie and George how to do it
- Mr Mukherjee always lets her sneak in and see her mother before visiting hours
- (it's beneficial to both Beanie and her mother, who glows when she sees her daughter)
- Harold always speaks a bit confusingly it seems to Beanie, with big long words he's learned in his Cambridge lectures combined with silly slang words he's picked up from the university itself
- so he intimidates her a little bit, but one day she picks up the courage to ask what 'being sent down' means and Harold explains it to her so nicely and patiently that she's not afraid anymore
- when Deepdean has a Social Event, George and Harold always turn up for Beanie and dance nearly every dance with her
- when she's confused about maths, or spelling, George will help her and try to explain things in a way she'd understand
- Beanie helps George too > when he's feeling stressed about something she'll brush his hair and joke that 'I won't be able to put your hair in a plait though!
- she tries to teach him how to ride a horse
- George doesn't Take To It and ends with no physical bruises but definitely a bruised dignity
- she sends him half her chocolate she receives from the stablehand (who's like a grandfather to her) and in return George sends Beanie half of the Indian sweets his mother sends him
- Beanie makes him a bracelet of his favourite colours, which he keeps hidden round his ankle
- they have the same picture of them together on their nightstand > it's of Beanie on her 17th birthday, and they're both wearing colourful party hats with the biggest grins

hi Robin, I've always wondered whether George and Harold are mixed race or fully ethincally indian? As far as I can remember their mum is never described, and as a mixed race person (indian and white) I always assumed that he was like me and his father married a brittish woman, but I've realised it was never stated? George has always been my favourite character, so thank you for writing him anyway!
Super good question! I think his mum probably is white - the man I based his father on married a white woman, and I think that was fairly common at the time for someone like him in the UK. The person I (partly) based George on is also mixed race like you … but because I haven’t ever introduced his mother in the books I’m currently happy for everyone to imagine him in the way they prefer. If there ever was a TV show I would tell the casting directors to look at actors who are both British Indian and mixed race Indian/white.
